Byron, bunnies and racism...

A neat thing just happened. The costume designer at the theatre just walked into my office and handed me a book. "Thought you might like this," she said. "It's yours, I don't want it back." It's Lord Byron's Novel: The Evening Land by John Crowley. She's right, the title intrigues me.
I love it when people think of me with random books.
And speaking of random books, I did the book quiz linked by

My answer is ridiculous.
You're Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're
actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their
assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they
build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd
be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.

Allow me to roll my eyes in skepticism. Unhappy with this result, I did it again and was much happier. Let's just forget the bunnies, shall we?
You're To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've
also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to
persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you,
but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you
whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.

Given the above, this strip seems particularly apropriate.
