What Kind of Reader Am I?
There is an Anthony Newly/Leslie Bricusse song from Stop the World, I Want to Get Off called "What Kind of Fool Am I?". The title popped into my head when I saw this quiz. Note that I am very close to being a Book Snob as well. No surprise, since my answer to the Cliff's Notes question was "Those things are crap." I did, however, use SparkNotes once when I had 24 hours in which to read (for the first time) and do an hour-long presentation--complete with PowerPoint--on Siddhartha (by that time I was actually teaching, so my student days were behind me).
That was the day I discovered a frightening talent for BS. I'd be a brilliant politician, if only I had the stomach for it.

I'm a snob. My answers to one or two questions were a little extreme and I have read War and Peace (under duress)...and I'm English he, he, he!
Hmm. I am a literate good citizen too, but have a bit more of the snob in me- unfortunately. I'd like to think that's not quite fair... but oh well, everyone has a dark side.
Thank for dropping by and leaving a note. I can see the Bay of Fundy every day from my parlour windows when I am home, in Saint John.
P/S and Nerine:
I think the definition of snob can be flexible. Some people think having high standards automatically makes one snobby. That's silly, of course.
I've never managed War and Peace, but I did get through 1/3 of the long version of Les Miserables.
Bay of Fundy! Fabulous. I saw it when the tide was out, which was cool, but I'll bet the tide coming in is pretty cool,too. Thanks for coming by, Nerine!
