You're Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're
actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their
assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they
build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd
be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
I like to explore all kinds of information and how it impacts our lives, but for the next few months I am going to focus on the impact of the election of Trump as president. For millions of Americans who are in distress (that includes me) I'm going to explore how we can cope with the emotions engendered and take positive actions to make a difference--first in our own lives and then in the lives of our fellow citizens and in the future of our nation. Let's begin!
Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.

Do You Have a Favorite Book?
Books...reading books...owning books....talking about books. What better occupation? I've just been exploring a list of the 1.041 best books (or at least a compilation of a number of people's opinions.) There is a chance at this site to submit your own list of the 25 best books of all time. Try it, if you dare! My list is currently at 45 titles and no doubt I'll dream about books tonight and check my library shelves tomorrow and the list will grow. It will take some time to cull it to only 25! There was also a quiz there and I've adding my results. It only had six questions to find out your "book identity". It's true, I am fond of talking rabbits!

I like yours a lot better! This is what I got. Partly true, but geez, kind of depressing!:
You used to care, but now it's just getting too difficult. You cared about the plight of people in lands near and far, but now the media has bombarded you with images of suffering to the point that you just don't have the energy to go on. You've become cold and heartless, as though you'd lived in New York City for a year or so. But you stand as a serious example to all others that they should turn off their TV sets and start caring again.
