The Book Quiz Again
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.

You're The Sound and the Fury!
by William Faulkner

You can see many different perspectives on the issue, but you're mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you've lost. People often have a hard time understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant anyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing.

QUIZ: What Kind of Writer Are YOU?
Take the Quiz
My answer was...
Brave Creative.
You are a self expressive writer who is focused on an almost spiritual kind of
creative growth. Your writing is filled with courage, honesty, and personal authenticity. You dare to
share the secret hurts and pains that others try to hide. The gift you bring to the world is one of self-
understanding, self-acceptance, and the permission to become amazingly flawed and human. Your
greatest joy would be in knowing that your words have rescued others in the same way that they have
rescued you.

Rhonda Byrne~ The Secret
The Secret by Rhonda ByrneMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Finally finished this book. I procrastinated as I do many things. I WISH that I could believe everything in this book but I struggle with it. I DO however, recognize SOME truths and that many, many educated people all choose the same belief system so perhaps there IS something to it in the end.
Read it and decide for yourself, I guess!

Follow Suggestions to the RIGHT...
It's a game I play with myself when I share videos on YouTube. On the right side, every time you watch a video there are more videos to choose from. Follow the flow of suggestions and see where you end up. It is rarely the place you began...just like life...but if you are open to it you may be surprised what you find along the way.
I often cheat and back track because I don't want to miss some of the really good suggestions that come up on the list but, that is NOT allowed when you follow these rules:
I often cheat and back track because I don't want to miss some of the really good suggestions that come up on the list but, that is NOT allowed when you follow these rules:
- Search for whichever video you wanted to see.
- After you watch it check the suggestions on the right hand side.
- Choose one that appeals to you and watch it next.
- Do that again with the next video.
- The point is NOT to go backwards at all but to follow the flow of the suggestions by always choosing a new video from the right hand side.
- Enjoy the musical journey...you may be surprised where you end up!
That's it...it's not really that exciting lol but you never know what happens...today I started with some metal and classic rock and ended up with love songs and movie soundtracks!
If you LOVE a wide array of music it may be fascinating to see your list at the end of the game!
Done for Today :)
Well that was fun but I'm done posting for today!
Musical compositions, it should be remembered, do not inhabit certain countries, certain museums, like paintings and statues. The Mozart Quintet is not shut up in Salzburg: I have it in my pocket. ~Henri Rabaud

I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Roland and his ka-tet because I LOVE them and the whole series the most. It's hard for me to choose a fave SK book because they are each unique and wonderful on their own but definitely I am captured by the gunslinger and his journey.
