You are very proud of the culture you come from. You can’t help but be a bit snobby.
You cherish your food, history, language, and art. You feel like other people can’t match your taste.

Elegance is important to you. You rather stay with the past than love a new trend.
When in public, you look good and say the right things. Only your close friends and family know the real you.

Your Mind is Orange


Of all the mind types, yours is the quickest.
You are usually thinking a mile a minute, and you could be thinking about anything at all.
Your thoughts are often scattered and random – but they’re also a lot of fun!

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about esoteric subjects, the meaning of life, and pop culture.

I’ve read more of these books than I expected (~37) but can’t really recall some, esp. the ones I read for school.

What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users (my LibraryThing catalog). As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you’ve read, underline italicize the ones you read for school, italicize underline the ones you started but didn’t finish. Here’s the twist: add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. (Had to change the original directions because I did it incorrectly!)

Speedtest

The only official typing test I’ve ever taken was for my job in the pharmacy where we had to type prescription labels at lightning speed. Now everything is computerized so it probably doesn’t matter anymore.

Created by OnePlusYou

Marv, Stephen, and I are big time homebodies. I’m sure we could stay in for at least a week before feeling the itch to go out. Nice to know that based on the supplies we have in our home, we could actually stay in for about 56 days!
