I don't know... maybe the second half is accurate, but...

Well, the more I think about it, the more I think you're actually pretty well-suited to Van. But I was honestly expecting you to get either Cincinnatus or Dreyer (no one has gotten either of those yet, though...they must be lonely).

I don't think Nabokov has a "preoccupation" with sex at all. He uses it, yes, but it's never at the core of a story, and I don't think it detracts at all from the beauty of the novels. It barely even shows up in Invitation to a Beheading and Despair, and not at all in Pnin.

^_^;;  Yeah, I thought Van kinda fit. Though, from the answers I saw i thought Pnin might be my better result. I haven't seen who those other guys are -- maybe I should take the test again.

LOL! Wow, thank you Leslie. I'm quite flattered that you'd pick out Cincinnatus for me. ^_^;; Wow.
I took it again and, changing a few answers slightly, got Dreyer. Then I looked at ALL the answers and, actually, the only ones that I don't think would fit me would be Humbert and that... other guy, who's name escapes me. The red one. Anyways, Cinci just rather struck me, and he and Dreyer seemed to really fit. ^_^;; Good eye, yes.

Anyways, I lost my train of thought. Like I said, I'll see about checking Nabokov out, i'm just a bit hesitant is all (plus I have a million other books I need to read...).
