Gritty, realistic Vietnam account. Most often read by boomers in search of gritty, realistic Vietnam account or college history students whose profs want them to read a gritty, realistic Vietnam account.
I remember the novella version as being magic realist or hallucinatory. Haven't read the full book, though I was very impressed by the novella.
I am Ulysses.
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.
Maybe my new tagline should be "brilliant and repugnant."

by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent some time in every camp.

And realize that at least you believe in ferries.
I like it. It sounds like me. and the last line would make a great tag line.
I took the quiz. How the FUCK am I Anne of Green Fucking Gables?

I win. Got To Kill A Mockingbird.
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you, but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.
You did, Hec, you Atticus you.
