Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

Which Literature Classic Are You?

Here are my results when I took the quiz. I've never read The Name of the Rose, although I've been told by several people that I'd really enjoy it.

If you take the quiz, let me know which classic you are. Click on the "comments" button below.

The name of the rose
Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose. You are a mystery novel dealing with theology, especially with catholic vs liberal issues. You search for wisdom and knowledge endlessly, feeling that learning is essential in life.

Which literature classic are you?

My favorite line from the quiz: “Theology runs through everything in me, like blood.”

I got the same as well. It is a wonderful book, but I think that the quiz only has a very limited number of possible results. Of the ones I saw there, I would have to agree that The Name of the Rose is closest to my own interests and concerns, with 1984 as a close second. Still, it's a very short list...

er um . .I'm
Virginia Woolf: Orlando. You are a challenge, for outer events, the outside world, the time etc. play no importance to you. Your focus is in writing, in gender issues, and inside your own head. Self-analysis and exploration of yourself as well as the outer world hold great importance to you.
mmm quite possibly but apparently no rose!

I was Orlando from Virginia Woolf. I've never read the book to know if it fits or not. My focus is supposedly on writing and gender issues?

Hmmmmm...

So I'm Lord of the Rings? The whole triology or just the first book? It does seem to fit, but doesn't really tell me much. I already knew I was running around with Hobbits and wyrd things.

Name of the Rose, was that Sean Conner licking pages in the monasery? Well I guess he didn't lick the pages himself. Fasinating movie. Maybe I should read it. Eco is a very good story teller.
