Pensive and brooding with a penchant for solitary confinement, your fantastic story unfolded within the pages of Bram Stoker's gothic classic, DRACULA. Others mistake you for 'unhappy' on a regular basis, but simply do not understand that you are different - and that is completely okay. You tend to shun everything else around you as you immerse yourself with whatever captivates your mind - which leads to sacrifices but ultimately ends in incredible results. Your inner workings are as fascinating as your outer layers, a true rarity

It would be interesting to me to find out, because he was the one programming the results of each choice in the quiz and mapping them to a possible "life novel." But at the same time, *his* view or or interpretation of the novels in question might be a factor. I certainly wouldn't necessarily describe LOTR the way he did it in my results.

I got Dracula too. Ah. Eternal youth from sucking the life out of others. Hey meditators, forget TM and Ayurveda, come to my clinic! I had trouble with some of the selections in the quiz, because they did not have any significance for me. I seem to recall I read Dracula once while I was on a residence course. Good ol' Bram: ....The sun was almost down on the mountain tops, and the shadows of the whole group fell upon the snow. I saw the Count lying within the box upon the earth, some of which the rude falling from the cart had scattered over him. He was deathly pale, just like a waxen image, and the red eyes glared with the horrible vindictive look which I knew so well. As I looked, the eyes saw the sinking sun, and the look of hate in them turned to triumph. But, on the instant, came the sweep and flash of Jonathan's great knife. I shrieked as I saw it shear through the throat. Whilst at the same moment Mr. Morris's bowie knife plunged into the heart. It was like a miracle, but before our very eyes, and almost in the drawing of a breath, the whole body crumbled into dust and passed from our sight. I shall be glad as long as I live that even in that moment of final dissolution, there was in the face a look of peace, such as I never could have imagined might have rested there. The Castle of Dracula now stood out against the red sky, and every stone of its broken battlements was articulated against the light of the setting sun. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <turquoiseb@...> wrote : That's hilarious, Michael.

View on www.playbuzz.com http://www.playbuzz.com/jonb10/what-classic-novel-describes-your-life Preview by Yahoo I usually don't fall for or pass along these Internet bot quizzes, but someone I know raved about this one, so I dived into it and answered all the questions honestly, without trying to in any way affect the outcome. So I'm fairly pleased to have been told that the novel that describes my life is this one: "An underdog in every sense of the word, Tolkien's LORD OF THE RINGS does a masterful job of playing out your struggles. Though you may not be the most intimidating of individuals, you are not weak - far from it. People are constantly trying to put you down in life, and you always manage to prove them wrong; Sometime even finding yourself on top. Life has taken you some very strange places, and you've developed a taste for the fantastic in the process. You're determined, driven, and have a penchant for the surreal!" But it's a little scary when even Internet bots know things about you like that you've got a penchant for the surreal. :-)
