The Writing Life
I'll admit it. A person gets bored. Even when she has deadlines starting in her face, when she has plenty to do.. a person gets bored.. and she takes internet quizzes.. so I took this one to find out what book is most like me.. and I got a weird result... (you'll see when you scroll click down.) ...so now I want everyone to take this quiz.. and let me know if anyone gets a result that involves a book by a black person...
You're The Grapes of Wrath!
by John Steinbeck
You're mired in a deep depression that encompasses you and everyone
you know. You're trying to get out of the depression, but your idea of help is, in
itself, pretty sad. While some are convinced that this all has a deeper meaning, you're
really just dull and tedious. And utterly obsessed with dust. You really need to focus
on something other than dust. Your best moments center around turtles.

Althought the quiz says I am, I am definitely not "Anne of Green Gables."

I answered honestly the first time to find out that I was the Poisonwood Bible..not in total disagreement with that. Played with the quiz a little longer and finally got Ralph Ellison-Invisible Man.

Bored writer here, even if I am in NYC at the moment. It happens. So I was One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which made me extremely happy. And then I tried that other quiz--the Animal one--and I came out a Tuna. Okay...See you soon, amiga.

I tried the book quiz.I am St. Augustine's Confessions. Hmmm...be still my tortured soul.
The animal quiz revealed that I'm a horse. As hard as I work? Sounds about right!!

I am 'A People's History of the United States' by Howard Zinn - and it sounded good so I guess its accurate :)

Hmmmm.....it says I'm One Hundred Years of Solitude. Lonely and struggling,..Conflict has filled most of your life ....yet there is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world...*sigh*
