The Broken Empire series by Mark Lawrence is amazeballs.

I have finished reading the series but I don't think I will be reviewing it...like ever. It is just too amazing for me to put it into words!

Anyway, the author designed a fun quiz that tells you which character from his series you are like.

My result:

2 parts Jalan, 1 part Jorg

Discretion is the better part of valour, and besides, you have a hot date waiting. Wine, women and song are occasionally worth fighting for but there's plenty of them to be found around the next corner and only one of you.

You're here to have a good time. You'll stick your neck out if you really must, but couldn't someone else do it?

Take the quiz here!

A little something for amusement. Very short and very few questions, but hey.

You Are a Philosophical Thinker

You are very profound. You are an intense and deep thinker. You look at things from every perspective possible. You don't take much as given. You are wise and thoughtful. You are very philosophical about life. You are able to reason your way through anything, and you often come up with interesting and controversial conclusions.

Well, it turns out that most of the time people don't read the full question. For a touch of fun on Goodreads I used the quizzes feature to create a 'Monsters of Fiction' quiz focusing on ghosts, ghouls, orcs, orges, Dracula and so on. Out of interest I created a question on Scrooge with the actual phrasing being 'How many ghosts visit Scrooge and speak with him?' To which I had the answer as 3. 

So many people helpfully pointed out that indeed, as I was aware, 4 ghosts visit Scrooge, and my answer was therefore wrong. However, note that my question was not 'How many ghosts visit Scrooge?' My question was 'How many ghosts visit Scrooge and speak with him?' To which I reply that only 3 speak with him as the ghost of Christmas Future never speaks. However, after the hundredth or so response to this question being 'you're wrong' from well wishers I have altered my phrasing so it no longer is a trick question to 'how many ghosts speak with Scrooge?'

In all of this I had resolved to keep the question up as a test to see how many people read the full question. Clearly, very few do. Fewer still read down to see if perhaps this answer has already been resolved in the comments thread attached. The moral of the story is that even among readers there are many subtleties that can be missed. I do not say this to belittle anyone but more as an interesting comment on how intent can be subtly changed by a little change in phrasing.

Nice, though I wish it gave you choices of which Doctor to pick. Still, amusing.
