I’m still roaming the internet and I have found yet another test, a ‘better’ one for us booklovers: what book are you?
The test is not very accurate and trustworthy (at least in my case), but it is still fun to take it.
Here is my result:

what book are you?
what is your color?
I stumbled across the tickle site. A site where you can do many tests. I did the ‘what is your true color’ test. You have to answer 19 (simple) questions and then you get your result. Here is my color, and I have to say: it’s accurate.
don’t judge a book by its cover
It’s a popular saying and maybe you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but the fact is I often buy my books (only) because the cover is intruiging.
Here are some examples of book covers that grabbed me right away:
When I saw the books the first time I never heard of the author or title, but when I saw the book cover, I had to pick up the book. I don’t know what it is, but I have that feeling quite often, and I have to say I’m almost never disappointed by the books I pick out this way. Better yet, some of my favorite authors now, I never heard of before I saw the cover. An example of an author: Magnus Mills.
the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy – douglas adams
Just before planet Earth is being destroyed alien Ford Prefect, who has lived on earth for fifteen years as an out-of-work-actor, saves human Arthur Dent, who already is having a bad day because his house is scheduled to be demolished that morning. Reason for destruction: the planet has to give way for an intergalactic freeway. After they are picked up in lose space just before they run out of oxygen, a journey through space and time begins with help of totally different individuals (my favorite: Marvin the always depressed robot) and the hitchhiker’s guide. They are forced to work together to survive their ride through the galaxy in a spaceship that runs on improbability numbers.
the curious incident of the dog in the night-time – mark haddon
Christopher Boone is a 15 years old boy. He also is an autistic boy. Christopher needs his math, his statistic mind to cope with daily life.
When he is strolling around his street at night (as he does often) he finds the dog of his neighbor dead. Stabbed with a big fork. Christopher decides he has to find out who killed Wellington; be a detective like Sherlock Holmes.
He does so in his own mathematic and logical way and when his teacher says he should write his “quest” down, his unique struggle with the world and the questions it’s giving him, becomes ours to read.
