So, apparently I am “Karen Blixen” from the book Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen– a strong woman with an adventurous nature. I can hold my own and am not afraid to speak my mind. I haven’t read this book, so I’m not sure how to take this. I’ll have to put it on my to-read list!
Oh, and just for fun, I answered the same but changed my gender to male, and that would make me: “Dirk Pitt” from the well-known Clive Cussler novels – bold, confident and witty. I love to face new challenges and discover new things. And I have actually read this book! I don’t agree with it at all, because I’m not that adventurous. But I’ll take the compliment.
