You are a Dreamer!

(Submissive Introverted Abstract Feeler)


You are a DREAMER (SIAF)— reserved and imaginative.
You are basically the shy, silent type. You don't have much interest in
facts and figures or most of what's going on around you, but the internal worlds
you build for yourself are rich and complex. Luckily, your
creativity and strong heart mean you have a deep personality evident to anyone who
gets to know you. It's just that not many people do.
Talk to yourself less, other people more.

What a timely article...

Why Lolita remains shocking, and a favorite.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5536855

Asking a fiction writer to recommend his favorite book is a little like asking a father to pick his favorite child, like asking an adulterer to name his favorite lover. The writer will hem and haw, the father will equivocate, the adulterer will say he loves them all the same, just in different ways. Of course, we're lying. We all have a favorite: She stood "four foot ten in one sock." "She was Lola in slacks. She was Lo, plain Lo in the morning." But in our arms she will always be Lolita.

I'm still upset none of you guessed that book in my meme :-(

On the above page with the article, near the bottom, there are also a couple of files of Jeremy Irons reading from the unabridged Random House audio book. The first is the first chapter (short as it is), and the second is from the end starting with "This then is my story."

Note: I want I want I want I want I want I want!!!!!!!
