You’re The Sound and the Fury
by William Faulkner.
Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips with a major crisis in your life. You can see many different perspectives on the issue, but you’re mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you’ve lost. People often have a hard time understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant anyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing.
Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.
I found this quiz earlier. It’s a bit different to the others I’ve seen; it has 6 questions and 64 different outcomes, with each question taking you in a different direction. Seems to know me pretty well: strong-willed but deeply confused, I signify nothing… that’s me.





Thanks. I shall take this test and finally find out!
To Kill a Mockingbird? You’re kidding! I’m more Jane Eyre for sure.
CJ: Hi P&P, thanks for taking the quiz. I love To Kill A Mockingbird but I see what you mean; Jane Eyre might have been better. At least it wasn’t Ulysses.
“You’re One Hundred Years of Solitude!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Lonely and struggling, you’ve been around for a very long time. Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet there is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life all the more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.”
Uh. I don’t quite know how to respond to this. Let me think it over. If your results are any indication, too, these quiz people are kind of…dark? Not, completely unlike me, but, perhaps a bit extreme?
As for you: “I signify nothing” — I think not, Mr. Modern Classics. And some of us have more than a “vague” sense that you must be brilliant, hey?
CJ: Wow, Hundred Years of Solitude? That’s so not you. Maybe something like The Golden Notebook would’ve been better.
The results do seem a little dark, now that you mention it… but maybe I’m biased; I’m just disappointed that I couldn’t find Clarke or Asimov anywhere.
And thank you for the compliment! I’ll try not to let it go to my head… whoops, too late.
