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.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.
