Hauling out the Big Guns

Every time I take an on-line quiz, I ask myself, "Why do I take on-line quizzes?" If there were a quiz that could tell me that, I'd be truly grateful.

I just took the book quiz, which I found through The Passion of the Dale (indeed, PotD has helped me find so much) and it informed me that

You're The Guns of August!

by Barbara Tuchman

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can diplomats."

Now, I actually really like The Guns of August, I think it's a fabulous book. But I don't know how, after asking me only half a dozen questions, they'd arrive at the opinion that out of all the books ever written, this is the one that most aptly summarizes my personality.

Wankers.
