What Were You Raised On?

We've all done this before, each and every one of us. There is no person that hasn't stood for hours in the library, wondering what book they should read next. What now? You think. I've read some good ones, but... I don't know where to go. I want something thats going to knock me off my feet and prove to me that literature can go beyond reality. I just want a good book already.

Is that YOU? If you were to take out a personal add, would it say, "DESPERATELY SEEKING A GOOD READ? MUST LOVE EVENINGS IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE, HOT COCO, THE BEACH, AND THE OCCASIONAL BOOK CLUB?" Well, search no farther. With this quiz, you'll be able to understand yourself better than ever before. It's a true process of self-discover... and who knows, maybe you'll even find a book.

6. When you were in school and you were forced to read To Kill A Mockingbird, you thought...
It was a classic. I enjoyed it.
Huh? I don't remember having to read that.
It was alright. I haven't read in since but I don't remember hating it.
I must not have liked it, I don't remember it. It seemed pretentious and unrelatable... just don't kill mockingbirds. That was the moral. DON'T DO IT.
7. Have you read Harry Potter?
I tried. I got through the first one or so.
YES!!! Hahaha YES I have read them.
I saw the movies & made a decent attempt at the books... it sort of fell through. The movies are good though!
No.
8. If you ever decide to try and write a book, what genre would you go for?
Historical fiction, a biography, maybe a memoir. Something deep but elegant...
Fantasy! Maybe fiction? But probably fantasy.
Fiction, a memoir, an autobiography, maybe a children's book.
Non fiction, poetry. Maybe a memoir.
9. What book setting would you most like to visit?
Hmm... Victorian England, France, New York, the Deep South.
Hogwarts. Narnia. Forks. Middle Earth. Third Earth. Need I go on?
New York City! Boston, London, Paris, Rome.
Woodstock, Vermont, Paris, another planet. Spain, Mexico, Asia.
10. How deeply do books affect you?
If its a good one, I'll remember it, maybe reccommend it to a few people. Classics are timeless for a reason.
Some books hit me really hard; I could get abosrbed easily! It's happened to me before, with Harry Potter or another series. Good literature becomes a lifestlye for me.
Depends... some I'll think about, others I won't. Usually the deepest I go with books is brushing sand off my bookshelves months after the summer, once I've returned my Beach Reads to their place. If I'm in a book club then I might discuss it a little more.
Books offer me guidelines for reality, some of them affect me deeply and other do not. I really enjoy sensitve material, so I can really connect with books.
11. Lets be honest... people judge books by their covers. What sort of cover attracts you?
Something simple but bold, with maybe a small illustration and a direct title. In all honesty, it's the author's name that I'm looking for more than the cover.
Pictures, something vivid with a mysterious title and a hint of magic.
Usually pictures, a good title and eye catching design, maybe the cover is in a bright color or has a pattern, something to set it apart.
I go for natural or direct looking titles, pictures of people or written by people I have heard of and respect. I look for books that offer promising results, and these books have covers that I find respectable and helpful.
