About This Quiz
So many books, so little time! What kind of books do you love reading?
Not all books are for everyone, of course. That's why the categories are there - to help you find the one you need, the one you want, or the one that maybe calls to you.
And what kind of book indeed calls you? What resonates with your being? What catches your fancy at the moment? Is there a feeling of nostalgia, a feeling to re-live the past, to revisit old haunts in your mind via the pages of these books? We don't need any fancy machines to travel through time since our memories and the books will go hand in hand to take us there, and everywhere for that matter!Â
That is what certain types of books do to us. They're mostly of the fiction type, but of course, the nonfictional ones also do that trick, especially autobiographies and memoirs. Since they're real-life recollections of the past, you can definitely relate to that. But that's also where the power of fiction comes in, especially with classic novels written a long time ago. There's a reason why they are called classics: because they transcend the test of time.
Do you think you can resonate more with these classic books? We picked at least four here to choose from. And, depending on your responses, we'll guide you as to who you are, according to these novels. Curious? Open up and find out!

If he's in the business of killing people and framing others for it, then yeah!
I trust people whose names are in the Bible, like Ishmael.
I'm more scared of creatures of the sea and land, not people.
I don't get scared by names, but by deeds.
Do you like sailing out to the sea for long voyages, on a ship with a crew you don't all know?
I could try an adventure like that, sure.
Only if my aunt doesn't notice! But she does.

Have you been kicked out or expelled from a school before?
Story of my life, man...
Just caught playing hooky!
Who needs school when you can go out sailing at sea?
No time for school when you need to help around the home with errands and stuff
Do you like playing hooky from school, and thinking of ways to not get caught?
That sounds about right! Story of my childhood there.
Well, I get caught and get kicked out, so I'm in a different league, I guess.
I'd rather help old men who feel like great mentors to me.
I'd rather catch a huge fortune by going on a long journey where there's sure money.

Would you call a dare to catch a deadly creature, in exchange for big money?
Where do I sign?
Maybe when I grow older a bit.
Don't wanna infect others with my unlucky streak.
Is that mob-related? No way. I study in New York.
How do you feel about a small town that’s big on gossip talk?

Leave it! Find a fierce captain and join him on a voyage!

Would you get scared if you saw someone murder someone?

I'd probably be too busy minding my own angst to notice that.
Would you follow a leader blindly, even if his quest is deadly?

I'm too unlucky to do that.
I got my own problems to deal with, so to heck with that!
If you were a kid, would you be willing to still apprentice under someone that everyone sees as bad luck?

I think I have my own share of bad luck already, so I'll pass.

Hate is something I didn't grow old with.
Do you go on adventures without telling anyone, to the point that they’ll think you’re missing already?
Guilty! Hihihi!
Well, I sailed out to an unknown voyage, so...
I don't think they'll miss an old man; I'm too old for such things anyway.
Too busy with my angst to have such adventures.
Are you the kind of person who goes on a huge venture into the unknown, in the hopes of getting paid handsomely?

So many red flags there, so no.

What? I am the leader of the other kids!
I'd rather defy being unlucky.
When you were a kid, did you have a special affinity for senior citizens, like going out of your way to help them?
Yes, it's the humane thing to do.
Maybe if it pays well later on, sure, why not?
If it's part of an adventure, sure!
People should mind their own business.
Are you the kind of older sibling who buys gifts for your younger siblings, just on a whim?
