A Startling Discovery About My Personality

At the behest of John B. of Blog Meridian, I opted to take my first 'personality analysis' quiz ever. Normally these things hold no fascination for me, since I don't really care to learn what type of ergonomic furniture or hard candy I represent. It always seemed self-defeating to define myself in terms of a food group or home appliance. One of my little quirks.

However, John's self-assessment had provided considerable insight, as it was revealed that he and all he stands for can be summarized by ONE BOOK TITLE, and a good one at that, Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose.

This was admirable both for the fact that it was a BOOK, and that the book was not a pop-art missive culled from someone's best-seller list, say a Jonathan Kellerman or Dan Brown. Rose artfully blends theology, philosophy, and medieval mystery. When I read it over Christmas break a couple years ago, I loved it.

So I think it's entirely understandable why I was drawn in to this little Quizilla scheme. I also think that long-time readers of this blog will be very startled to learn what book 'I am.'

So much for massive doses of self-revelation.

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.

Which literature classic are you?

As a matter of course, I discount the above description, which is as flattering as it is exaggerated...
