What book are you? C'est moi, Lolita...

I am apparentlty Nabokov's classic novel personified:

<i>Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real. Please stay away from children.</i>

You're <i>Catch-22</i>!<br>
by Joseph Heller<br>
<i>Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense
of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an
ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You
could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of
people.</i>

OK, I admit, I changed a couple of borderline ones until I got a book I liked.

never read it, although I like the last description sentence. "Ultimately, you signify nothing"

You're <i>Mother Night</i>!<br>
<font size="4">by Kurt Vonnegut</font><br>
<i><font size="3">Nobody knows what to believe about you, and you know least of all. You
spent most of your time convinced that the ends justify the means, but your means were,
well, downright mean! And the end is nigh. Meanwhile all you want is to travel back in
time, if not to change, then to just delight in the way it used to be. You are who you
pretend to be. Oh yes, you're the great pretender.</font><br>

What's the description of that?

The DICTIONARY? You were the Dictionary? What does <i>that</i> say - "you encompass everything"?

You're <i>Roots</i>!<br>
<font size="4">by Alex Haley</font><br>
<i><font size="3">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.</font>

You're <i>Prufrock and Other Observations</i>!<br>
<font size="4">by T.S. Eliot</font><br>
<i><font size="3">Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic
and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying
to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really
heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.</font><br>

Watership Down... which I haven't read! I just finished <a href="http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_wangerin_bookoftheduncow.html">The Book of the Dun Cow</a> which may or may not be similar.

<i>Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.</i>

Thanks. <i>Man</i>.

That's the most accurate one I've seen so far, tgl.

Your friend,
