Ken, I expected to be Ulysses, based on my answers, and I adore the book with a stone passion. But I'm Barabara Tuchman, even if it wasn't the first choice of Tuchman I'd have gone for, and I'm totally fine with that.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Interesting. I didn't hesitate on a single response. It was all - longwinded, check, stream-of-consciousness, check, loves Great Britain (which seems a tad leaning), check.
I wonder if different answers brought different questions. May have to go back and see what book I am absolutely NOT.

Curiouser and curiouser. You DO get different questions. Started out going anti (by saying concise), but after that went with the honest responses.
If I was concise, I'd be Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut. Heh.

I have to start with consice. I am only long winded at 2am when DH wants to sleep, or after I drink.

I took it again and got Lolita.
Weirder and weirder.

I ended up as Catch-22. Which, um, WTF? I'm not nearly funny or ironical enough.

The irony of this statement is quite funny, actually.

I love Catch-22, damnit.
I wonder what happens if I take it a third time?
edit: To Kill A Mockingbird. The trigger is apparently whether I tell it I'm concise or long-winded.

Another social casualty...
DH is The Dictionary, by Miriam-Webster. That is so appropriate for him.
I, however, am Ulysses. "When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero." I wonder if I should even bother trying to deny it.

Always Anti-fascist!
I love Mosley's books(haven't read them all, though) Glad to hear he's cool, Deb.
