So, last night, when I was totally not up at 1:30 am watching late night comedies, there was this ad I liked. It showed the Emerald City, and a train going away, that said "Oz" on it. The narration said "Discover New Lands... READ", and then provided a website, literacy.gov
Well, that site appears to be the Library of Congress's website, or at least one of them. I've been poking around, and here's what I've found.
1. http://www.loc.gov/literacy/explore/fantasy.html, 8th one down. HARRY POTTER! I see Twilight isn't in any of the categories. Even the Library of Congress agrees with me, Twilight is not well written. And don't even get me started on the movies.
Harry Potter defiently deserves to be recognized. What series started books having set release dates? What series started the idea of midnight releases? What series had kids with things like dyslexia overcome their problems in order to read the series, and then releaize they can overcome their problem all together? What series gives my life meaning? HARRY POTTER
So, then I went to the main Lbrary of Congress website. http://www.loc.gov/wiseguide/jan09/barack.html, this showed me that Barack Obama is not only an inspriring person, will be a great President, and a wonderful speaker, he is also a poet.
On a search of Twilight, http://www.loc.gov/fedsearch/records.tkl?cclquery=Twilight%,20&start=1&id=target-webpages.tkl&targets%5B%5D=webpages&targets%5B%5D=recommend&alltargets=targets%5B%5D~webpagestargets%5B%5D~recommend&PHPSESSID=2bd7eb75cd02e18db0be1b6a64281c0e, it took awhile just to find anything related to that book series. But a search of Harry Potter, http://www.loc.gov/fedsearch/records.tkl?cclquery=Harry+Potter%20&start=1&id=target-webpages.tkl&targets%5B%5D=webpages&targets%5B%5D=recommend&alltargets=targets%5B%5D~webpagestargets%5B%5D~recommend, provided plenty of results actually about the wondrous book series.
So, then I did a couple of Google searches. One thing I found was a quiz that says right major suits you. I had a tie breaker question: http://quizfarm.com/run.php/QuizRunner. Argh. I like both the same. I think I'll go with the second one, anatomy of animals doesn't really intrigue me.
My results: http://quizfarm.com/run.php/QuizRunner. So, based on the high scoring results, I should be a politician, a scientist, a writer, a priest, or a mathmetician. And since, politician was my top result, "Hail to the Chief".
http://www.hollylisle.com/fm/Articles/feature11.html, this is a "Are you right for writing?" quiz. I scored 92 points, I'd make a great writer. I'd be interested in seeing other peopls results.
And, finally, this quiz, http://www.okcupid.com/results/the-which-book-next-quiz/?, fromCGI=1&var_Complicated=4&var_Realistic=-33&var_Historical=-1&var_Philosophical=5&var_Plot%252dbased=20&var_Scientific=1, told me what books are right for me. Ahh, the nice world of fantasy. Harry Potter fits under that decription. So, why didn't they include it on this. Disclaimer: this quiz appears to be on a site you have to join. I put in a gibberish username, and an old email adress.
