Did you take the BOOK QUIZ? - DO NOT TAKE IT!!! . Look at my results and feel my pain!


You're The Poisonwood Bible!
by Barbara Kingsolver

Deeply rooted in a religious background, you have since become both isolated and schizophrenic. You were naively sure that your actions would help people,
but of course they were resistant to your message and ultimately disaster ensued. Since you can see so many sides of the same issue, you are both wise beyond your years and tied to worthless perspectives. If you were a type of waffle, it would be Belgian.

Take the Book Quiz

Too late. This is mine. First a note: Right now, the major crisis in my life is trying to figure out how to keep Beau's (Yorkie pup) pisser in his pants:

You're The Sound and the Fury!
by William Faulkner
Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips with a major crisis in your life. You can see many different perspectives on the issue, but you're mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you've lost. People often have a hard time understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant anyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing.

Ha! Camille!

My quiz resulted in The Sound and Fury too!

"People have a hard time understanding" me. It must be the rutabegas. I almost sent you a letter about those rutabegas, Camille, but I was afraid that you WOULD understand.

Oh well - signifying nothing helps ease my guilt in not blawging more, but I prefer to think of that as "merciful".

actually Enuf, CAMILLE is the sound and the fury. She was describing her results, not me. But I am jealous of YOUR results, beinga fan of Kurt Vonnegut. Instead I had a novel describing the futile mission of a Geargia family in Congo, teaching the Bible to unresponsive villages and getting sick with malaria. Bummer.

Jim, I read The poisonwood Bible. A great book, narrated by each
of the crazy missionary's children. Religious fanaticism and african
life for an american family.Yv.

Yvette, I'll give it a try. What the hell. After all I was in charge of the map showing the oblat missionary working all over the word while a seminarian. I actually hesistated between an olive cassock (missions in bolivia, Bazutoland etc...) and a white cassock (missions in the arctic etc...). That was my dilemna, resolved when they showed us a movie of a dead father 's face as it melted from a block of ice where they found him.
Love your Mexican cooking book. Will treat you when you come!
