via sappho's breathing, an amusing quiz, if you are a literary type. i didn't check to see what all the possible outcomes were, but i have to admit i was surprised at mine. "You are Arthur Rimbaud - a vital cannon-changing poet with a flare for tantrums. You tend to write in a fever, and have a liking for the disordered mind. Don't expect people to understand you, for you are ahead of your time." surprised, but not displeased. it is a fairly accurate description of the much-younger me, though by this time i hope to have mellowed out of some of the more extreme aspects of the Rimbaud personality. (as, evidently, did Rimbaud himself.)

Hmm, interesting quiz. Will take it when time permits. Btw, I have Bangkok 8 from the library. Can't wait to get started!
ok, mara, glad you have it. this is a huge responsibility. i've built up your expectations.....if they aren't met, oh no, you'll think i'm a terrible judge of books. and maybe wine, women, character, as well!! but no, it really is an amazing novel, and his first, to boot. i'm hoping for a second in the series, tho i have no idea if he plans to do that. lemme know what you think.
Yours is dead on, as is your own assessment of it. Here's mine (not so dead on, but interesting.) "You are Dylan Thomas - a poet who lives to spite the banal continuity of modern life. You are the new word, the new voice. You will trample on tradition, and breed a new school." That was fun. Thanks for the link.
quite interesting - I ended up as Dylan Thomas

"You are Dorothy Parker - a cute little smart-ass, armed with rapier wit and agile hands. You run with the foremost minds of your generation. You are appreciated in your own time, as well as after your death."
I wish :)
