It Is, of Course, a Trifle ...

  
     I have a trifle to share today, a literary quiz called What Literary Character Are You? Perhaps it is a reminder that what you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done.

     Where did I come up with such a quiz? Ah ... a conjuror gets no credit when once he has explained his trick, and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.

     You see, you answer ten questions, and the quiz tells you what fictional character you most resemble. Understand? Nothing clears up a case so much as stating it to another person.

     Regardless, the exercise is a lot of fun, though I don't know that we should consider it with too serious a demeanor. I took the quiz. And I was revealed to be Sherlock Holmes.

     The quiz results are accurate in that I do tend to be old fashioned. But otherwise, I must admit my dear friends, I am one sorry excuse for Sherlock Holmes.

     So follow the trail over to AbeBooks. Take the quiz and divulge your personality. What literary character do you resemble most? For any truth is better than infinite doubt.

This was fun, however I am Hermione from the Harry Potter series. I have never read any of these books, so I don't know what that means. Dianne

I am Galadriel. Now I will have to read the Hobbit to find out, or watch the movie. Cate Blanchett played her in the movie, so it can't be all bad.

I'm Gandalf? Really? I have a crappy beard and don't look good in hats.

I'm Juliet. Of The Romeo and Juliet team. That's funny 'cause at times I do feel a bit suicidal.

Plus, I'm a romantic till the end. No pun intended.

Don't think it works, Tom. I can't even stumble over a low fence with several hops. However, come to think about it, I might look good in a cape!
