Book Quiz




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.

Ok. That was interesting. It was good to see Mr. Joyce's face pop up into view. I can't rightly say if I'm Ulysses or not (these short quizzes always leave me wishing for more answers to choose from. And sometimes I feel like I could pick every answer or none of them at all) I did buy the book last year. So this quiz has been helpful in reminding me to read it.

And its title reminds me of Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses". I used to listen to that song over and over and over again.

Well, it looks like that's one of the more rare ones. I played around with the quiz for a while and couldn't come up with it. Then I looked at other people's results and IIRC not many were _Catcher in the Rye_. I actually really liked that book in HS. "If a body meet a body coming through the rye". I'm reminded of another cure song.
"Catch".

If you could be any book which one would it be?
