Book Worm

I started reading again yesterday... I'd forgotten what it was like. I'm in the middle of a 550-page biography of Ataturk, by Andrew Mango. Tremendous work if you want to learn anything about the foundations of modern Turkey. In other news...

You're 1984!
by George Orwell
You have this uncanny feeling that you're always being watched. Thus life has become a bit of a show as you try to portray yourself as much more reputable than you actually are. All around you, people seem to accept an unending stream of lies and propaganda without flinching. Your only hope may be a star-crossed love affair, but pain seems stonger than love. If you have any older brothers, be very wary of them.

Orwell's seminal dystopia happens to be a personal favorite of mine, so like Doug I was quite pleased to find out that I am compared to one of my personal faves (btw, while you're at Mute Troubadour, check out Doug's synopsis of a great sermon. Let the Word of God be preached!). I also took the other version of their test and got one that's still on my must-read list:

You're Roots!
by Alex Haley
While almost everyone agrees that you're brilliant, no one knows quite how to categorize you. Some say that you're a person with an amazing family tree. Some say that you're just a darn good storyteller. Others say that you're both and don't much care where to draw the line. What is known is that your people have been through a great number of trials and that you are where you are because of hard work. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Even better, they have a 6-question country quiz (and their questions are hilarious):

You're Liechtenstein!
Most folks don't take you that seriously, but you really make a big deal out of being independent.  You don't do a whole lot for other people, but you make the best of the resources available to you.  You really like snow.  And mountains.  And being independent.  And you're probably pretty small.
