"The JudgeYou are a person with a strong sense of right and wrong and a firm sense of self. You expect to see bad actions punished and good actions rewarded. Books that don't fulfill those expectations can dismay you, and books about people whose conduct violates your own moral code can get your back up—whether it's Flaubert's philandering Madame Bovary, Marlon James' brutal gang leaders in A Brief History of Seven Killings, or Piper Kerman's memoir of serving prison time for money laundering, Orange Is the New Black. Chances are that you have a penchant for nonfiction books that highlight effort, tenacity and achievement, and fiction that makes redemptive moral points. Dickens' David Copperfield and Jeannette Walls'The Glass Castle will satisfy you with their stories of personal triumph over hardship, injustice and poor parenting. You may be fond of crime and detective novels, too—exulting when the baddies are brought to justice."

The Starry-Eyed Romantic
Remember all those summer childhood afternoons you spent sprawled under the forsythia bushes in the garden, reading Love Story, Little Women and Jane Eyre (and maybe Judy Blume's Forever) over and over? We won't tell your parents. Romantic readers crave sexy encounters, fantastical happenings and storybook endings, whether those endings be (mostly) joyful (Pride and Prejudice, Twilight, How Stella Got Her Groove Back) or tragic (Romeo and Juliet, Me Before You, One Day). So…bring on true love and vampires, heartbreak and dragons and Earl Grey tea. Romantics relish a good cry or epic drama—which partially explains their embrace of A Game of Thrones. Romantics have a soft spot for YA fictio
Lol sounds about right!

The Endurance Reader
Like a long-distance runner, you have powers of endurance and you don't mind tackling epics or long sagas that cover varied terrain and multiple generations. Covering so much ground appeals to you because you enjoy the sensation of slowly compassing the distance you cross, enfolding the landscape into yourself. Others may despair of finishing Karl Ove Knausgaard's epic My Struggle series, but you relish every moment. If you had three months to spend on a reading holiday, you would take Moby Dick, or Anthony Powell's four-volume A Dance to the Music of Time, or Tolstoy's War and Peace, Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks, George Eliot's Middlemarch, Philipp Meyer's The Son or all of Proust's In Search of Lost Time. You derive satisfaction from the achievement of completing the journey.

The Lionizer
You bring an element of fiction to the way you see the world and the way you see yourself. To you, life is an adventurous novel that you create and change, day by day, taking inspiration for your own path from the actions and journeys of brave, determined people you know, or read about. The Goldfinch will intrigue you as much as A House for Mister Biswas; and for you, the slums of Behind the Beautiful Forevers or a biography of Thomas Jefferson will hold as much allure as the towers of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. For you, a book is a passport to another place and time. Whether you travel much in your real life, you like books that transport you to terra incognita, like Land of Love and Drowning or Absurdistan. In your dreams Cloud Atlas is your diary. Nonfiction books hold your interest when they describe personalities and situations that demonstrate the mutability and drama you crave. You likely harbor a passion for classic children's literature, too—that's the Lionizer's wading pool.
This is so accurate!

The Philosopher
You may have finished school long ago, but you've never lost your hunger for increasing your knowledge. You likely prefer nonfiction and "think" books, but you can enjoy a novel if it teaches you something. Homer's The Odyssey will captivate you with its tips on raft building, while Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna will satisfy with recipes for empanadas dulces and vivid descriptions of Diego Rivera's Mexico. Seeking to make sense of societal trends—past, present and future—you'll read books like The Sixth Extinction and Freakonomics. Other books on your bedside table over the years have been Guns, Germs, and Steel; Outliers; The Happiness Project; Thinking, Fast and Slow; and—lately—Lean In and Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century. You hold the deep conviction that, although the world may work in mysterious ways, you can decode those ways if you apply yourself. For you, the best books are ones that help you solve the puzzle of human existence.
