From the “Everyone Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t I?” Department: Although I am generally resistant to quizzes, my inner bookworm could not resist Blue Pyramid’s Book Quiz, which I found via Courtney and Snowball:
You’re The Guns of August!
by Barbara Tuchman
Though you’re interested in war, what you really want to know is what
causes war. You’re out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they
really are. Nevertheless, you’re always living in the past and have a hard time dealing
with what’s going on today. You’re also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in
the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can
diplomats."

at the Blue Pyramid.
Curious. Amusing. Not inaccurate. So I decided to move on to the even-more intriguing Country Quiz:
You’re Lebanon!
Your room’s a mess. Your house is a mess. Heck, your life
is a mess. It all used to be really beautiful, and someone even compared you to Paris
once, but that’s all been replaced with heartache and struggle. You’re small, have been
influenced by outsiders for too long, and don’t know what to think about religion. At
least you smell rather pleasant!

Accurate. (Except for the part about being “small,” which I haven’t been since I was a fetus. Really. I’ve seen turkeys that were smaller than I was at birth.) Perceptive. Scary. I have to hide under my desk now.
