We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hold on just a cotton pickin minute. I got Jurassic Park.

You guys are all classics of English language literature, (okay, Gus is French) and I'm a fricken airport read??

No fair!

Always Anti-fascist!

Catch-22 is brilliant, imo. But, considering who my spiritual advisor is these days, of course, I love "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you," but to each her own.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

You're Siddhartha! 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. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in. This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's time to chill out under a tree. 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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm The Guns of August.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm The Guns of August.

Me too.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I took the quiz. How the FUCK am I Anne of Green Fucking Gables?

Apparently, I have "the emotional fortitude of cottage cheese."

Always Anti-fascist!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

I can't even.

Guns of August too. Not the least shocked. It should have been A Distant Mirror to be more accurate, but what do you want from an internet quiz.
