It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense<br \/>\nof humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an<br \/>\nardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You<br \/>\ncould coin a phrase that replaces the word &quot;paradox&quot; for millions of<br \/>\npeople.<\/font><br \/>\n<font size=\"2\" face=\"Times New Roman\"><\/font><\/i><br \/>\nTake the Book Quiz<br \/>\nat the Blue Pyramid.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can retake the quiz, get different questions, and a different book:  <\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"Georgia, Georgia Ref, Book Antiqua, Garamond\" size=\"5\"><br \/>\nYou&#8217;re <i>The Sound and the Fury<\/i>!<br \/>\n<\/font><font size=\"4\">by William Faulkner<\/font><br \/>\n<i><font size=\"3\">Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips<br \/>\nwith a major crisis in your life. You can see many different perspectives on the issue,<br \/>\nbut you&#8217;re mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you&#8217;ve lost. People often have a hard<br \/>\ntime understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant<br \/>\nanyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing.<\/font><br \/>\n<font size=\"2\" face=\"Times New Roman\"><\/font><\/i><br \/>\nTake the Book Quiz<br \/>\nat the Blue Pyramid.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to quit while I&#8217;m behind.  You&#8217;ve heard about the four quadrants (the things you know about you that nobody else knows, the things you know about you that everybody else knows, the things everybody else knows about you but you don&#8217;t know about yourself, and the things nobody, including you, know about yourself&#8211;I think that&#8217;s how it goes, anyway) of self-awareness?  Well, we&#8217;re definitely in one of the latter two with this quiz.<\/p>\n<p>\n<font face=\"Georgia, Georgia Ref, Book Antiqua, Garamond\" size=\"5\"><br \/>\nYou&#8217;re <i>The Things They Carried<\/i>!<br \/>\n<\/font><font size=\"4\">by Tim O&#8217;Brien<\/font><br \/>\n<i><font size=\"3\">Harsh and bitter, you tell it like it is. This usually comes in short,<br \/>\ndramatic spurts of spilling your guts in various ways. You carry a heavy load, and this<br \/>\nhas weighed you down with all the horrors that humanity has to offer. Having seen and<br \/>\ndone a great deal that you aren&#8217;t proud of, you have no choice but to walk forward,<br \/>\ntrudging slowly through ongoing mud. In the next life, you will come back as a water<br \/>\nbuffalo.<\/font><br \/>\n<font size=\"2\" face=\"Times New Roman\"><\/font><\/i><br \/>\nTake the Book Quiz<br \/>\nat the Blue Pyramid.<\/p>\n<p>I always wondered what it would be like to be a water buffalo.
