You're Brave New World!
by Aldous Huxley
With an uncanny ability for predicting the future, you are a true psychic. You can see how the world will change and illuminate the fears of future generations. In the world to come, you see the influence of the media, genetic science, drugs, and class warfare. And while all this might make you happy, you claim the right to be unhappy. While pregnancy might seem painful, test tube babies scare you most. You are obsessed with the word "pneumatic".

Amazing! All true! Though I could just as easily have been Lord of the Flies, because this irresponsible idea for a reality show has been on my mind in recent days. [Via Nag on the Lake]


I got Watership Down.

Weirdly appropriate! (We read that book last year for the book club that Maya formed.)

You're Ulysses!
by James Joyce
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.
For once, a quiz that gets it right. Almost right. I, of course, wanted to be The Making of Americans by Gertrude Stein, but this is a good runner-up!
