    Brave New World. And actually, the description is very "me". :)

    You got: “Brave New World”

    You are in your own head a lot and have a thoroughly vivid imagination. To you, the scariest thing is to live and go through each day of your life as a passive recipient of information rather than as an active thinker, and so you’re always examining everything in your path.

    Vellichor: The strange wistfulness of used bookstores
  • You got: “1984”

    You have a vivid imagination and appreciate anything that would fuels your creativity, whether in a fun, positive way or in a dark and disturbing one. Your mind is always somewhere else (oftentimes, the future) and you quite like it that way.

    You got: “The Great Gatsby”

    You are definitely cool, and have a good amount of equally cool friends. You’re always up to try something new and exciting and are generally an energetic and fun human to be around. You also have an incredibly forward sense of style and always look put together and calm, no matter how you’re actually feeling inside, making everyone want to hang out with you.

  • Fahrenheit 451 was dead on until they lost me and started talking about smart phones and being plugged in during English class. Member of the pre-millenial gens, thanks...

    Right? Some of these books were written well after I was in high school.
    My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

  • This is definitely not me.  In HS I knew who I was and what I was going to do with my life.  I am more doubt about my life and my identity now than I did then. :)

  • Mine is TKAMB and I would definitely say it suits me.

  • TKAM: Pretty spot on for me, IMHO.

    You have a strong moral compass and don’t blindly follow what everyone else is doing, no matter how easy it may be to do so, or how tempting. You have an intuition that tells you what is right and wrong and while you make mistakes like everyone else, you also learn from them and generally make wise decisions.

  • I would have picked Lord of the Flies but I never read that in High School.  So my favorite of the ones that I actually read in high school was Ethan Frome and well...I have to disagree

    Let’s be honest: You’re kind of a pessimist. Your glass is totally half empty and you enjoy complaining. Luckily though, you have friends who love to complain too, so it pretty much all works out.
