Is sorta interesting (and Jake, TLOTR is one of the classics that you could get!) if you wish to take the time. I have to say I was a little, but not much surprised that I am: George Orwell: Nineteen Eighty-Four. You are the classic warning against the threat of totalitarianism. To you, politics and philosophy are inseparable, auchtorities suck and the reality might not exist outside our imaginations. quizilla.com/users/firelite/quizzes/Which%20literature%20classic%20are%20you%3F/Hey, an aside, it comes with the html to post the cover of the book. What button do I choose above to post correctly? Anyone know? I am webpage illiterate. THANKS!!

Oh, my! I like this link! Makes you think and evaluate--and perhaps see something about yourself you didn't realize before.
I'm: Oscar Wilde: The Portrait of Dorian Gray. You are a horror novel from the world of dandies, rich pretty boys, art and aesthetics, and intellectual debates between ethical people and decadent pleasure-seekers. You value beauty and pleasure but realize their dangers, as well.
Such debauchery! My mother would not be proud. Guess I am a hedonist after all.

Wow. A third Dorian Gray in the bunch. Tex, I think you may be on to something there. Oscar Wilde: The Portrait of Dorian Gray. You are a horror novel from the world of dandies, rich pretty boys, art and aesthetics, and intellectual debates between ethical people and decadent pleasure-seekers. You value beauty and pleasure but realize their dangers, as well.

Unfortunately I broke the run of Dorian Grays, but I'm pleased with my result. J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of the Rings. You are entertaining and imaginative, creating whole new worlds around yourself. Well loved, you have a whole league of imitators, none of which is quite as profound as you are. Stories and songs give a spark of joy in the middle of your eternal battle with the forces of evil.

I'm in a league of my own, here!
Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose. You are a mystery novel dealing with theology, especially with catholic vs liberal issues. You search wisdom and knowledge endlessly, feeling that learning is essential in life.
This works for me but I would have much rather been in the circle with Chris, Tex and Hazelita ;D

I am going to break with the pack and say that I am "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain--Just floatin' down the river of life, not really looking for adventure, but finding it anyway.

here it is for me: Virginia Woolf: Orlando. You are a challenge -outer events, the outside world, the time etc. play no importance to you. Your focus is in writing, in gender issues, and inside your own head. Self-analysis and exploration of yourself as well as the outer world hold great importance to you. Isn't this description contradictory? Outer events, the outer world play no importance to me...and then it says the outer world *does* hold great importance? Has anyone read the book? Inquiring minds want to know

Charles Baudelaire: The Flowers of Evil. You are one of the most loved and hated poetic works. Death and decadence are important themes for you, but none should overlook your impressive aesthetics, either. Deep down youre not evil at all, you just like to play the tough guy on the block.
That's interesting...I think it fits.
BTW, that site tried to put a trojan on my laptop. Beware people!

Back to Hedonistic pleasures. I am. . . Oscar Wilde: The Portrait of Dorian Gray. You are a horror novel from the world of dandies, rich pretty boys, art and aesthetics, and intellectual debates between ethical people and decadent pleasure-seekers. You value beauty and pleasure but realize their dangers, as well. (Birds of a feather??) LOL
