Post Mil-um Depression

Milo is laying on my rocking chair, trying to recover from the trauma of being outside. Being such a hermit myself, I totally understand. I drove to get myself Little Caesar's today, the first time I have been outside by myself in months, and it gave me the heebie jeebies.

I did a quiz this evening that I thought was interesting in principle--What book are you? This was the result:




You're "Master Harold"... and the Boys!

by Athol Fugard

Even though you should have realized it for years, you're only just
starting to understand how bad your society is. It's been keeping some of your best
friends down for ages, and even you have been complicit with this system. When you
make a mess, someone else is quick to clean it. When you need help, someone else is
quick to your rescue. But when they point out injustice, you've pulled the wool over
your eyes. Until now. If you ever need a cast, it will be small.



Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.



I am a little disturbed because I haven't read this book--I was expecting a _known_ non-obscure book, unless I am a dolt and this is a well-known book. I am going to go play around with this quizzes on this site more.

I took this quiz! I was _Great Expectations_. I knew, as soon as I answered the first question (and said I tend to go on and on, rather than being concise) that the quiz was going to try to make me into a longwinded Victorian novel. So I wasn't too surprised by the result, especially after I said I liked the British Isles. But I took it again and answered something a little differently, probably the British Isles question, and came out as _The Sound and the Fury_. I thought these were kind of boring results, though not boring books.

PS
I have never heard of your book. I took the other quizzes on this list; I was Lebanon, Idaho, North Carolina State University (which kiiiilllled me) and the Trans-Siberian Railroad (which cracked me up). This particular grouping of quizzes is *extremely* silly.

My result:
You're _Great Expectations_ by Charles Dickens

"Coming from humble beginnings, you have become pretty stuck-up in your later years. While hard work and dedication were the path you first walked on, a sudden
fork brought you glory and fortune. Unfortunately, you have changed even more than your
bottom line. You really should turn back to your old friends and at least respect your old life. Look out for haughty hotties."

Right. That sounds a LOT like me.

My university: "You're North Carolina State University! A towering figure in your general area, you are simply a very tall person. You might not have the most staggering intellect to go
with it, but you try to travel in packs to make up for this. In your mind, John Edwards should've been atop the Democratic ticket and you hope he'll be there someday. You also admire a guy named Walter, though many have described him as a glorified criminal. You are hungry like the wolf."

My country: "You're Lebanon! Your room's a mess. Your house is a mess. Heck, your life is a mess. It all used to be really beautiful, and someone even compared you to Paris once, but that's all been replaced with heartache and struggle.You're small, have been influenced by outsiders for too long, and don't know what to think about religion. At least you smell rather pleasant!"

My railroad: "You're the Trans-Siberian Railway! When you were younger, most people only hung out with you to serve a punishment they'd received. You're a fair bit more popular now than in those old days, but it's still a stretch for many to try to get close to you. You're just an extremely cold person, and you tend to venture off for long periods of time. You have a seaside home you once kept secret, but now you're willing to share with others. If you were a doctor, you would be Dr. Zhivago."
