Quem procura, acha. E muita coisa. Após descobrir alguns quizzes sobre Jane Austen, achei vários outros sobre Tolkien. Diferentemente dos resultados de Jane, gostei da maioria de Tolkien. Pra fazer, é só clicar em cada um:


Tolkien's Elvish - How Much Do You Know? 
Wow! You must be an elf - your elvish is so attuned. Or possibly...a Numenorean or Istari. Well done!

Which Tolkien Language Are You?
Quenya

You, my dear, are a Hobbit! Hobbits are small creatures with a huge, passionate love for the earth and all the growing things in it. They are smaller than Dwarves and have big, furry feet.

You are Galadriel! The only daughter of Finarfin and the child with the most names, what with Artanis, Altariel and Nerwen on the side. Your lust for power sent you across the Grinding Ice as the only female leader of the Returning Noldor, before marring Celeborn and lived in Doriath for a while, learning how to completely cut your kingdom off from its neighbors and good tips like that, before going east and getting a Ring of Power, ruling Lothlorien and looking beautiful before eventually sailing back to Valinor sans husband, country and Ring.

Which Tolkien Goddess are You? 
You are Yavanna Kementari, Queen of the Earth. Always the mother figure in any situation, you love to watch things thrive and grow. Nothing brings you more pleasure than a garden or a pet. Always a nurturer.


Aragorn + Arwen You met in the woods not knowing that you had both been raised by your father. You fell in love even though he was just a man and you are an elf. You are a quiet woman, but he is very brave and loves you dearly. You give up moving with your family to the undying lands to live with him. He becomes a king, and you have a huge wedding and you live happily ever after.

What Elf are you from Tolkien's books? 
You are Legolas. You are Prince of Mirkwood and have blond hair. You are a loyal member of the Fellowship.

Which Tolkien Elven Race Do You Belong to? 
You are one of the Sindar, the noble Grey-Elves of Middle-Earth. Wise and fair you are like a young birch-tree in the morning sun. You love deep shadows of the great forests and the stars of Elbereth Gilthoniel the most. But beware the Sea. Once your hear the crying of the gulls your heart will be turned in to the West forever. Noted Elves of your race: Legolas Greenleaf, Celeborn, Gildor Inglorion, Luthien Tinuviel and Elu Thingol -Berio i dur Belain i ven lin ne vorn!-(May the power of Valar protect you on your path in the darkness)

Who is your SICTNITM soulmate from Tolkien's universe? 
Your soulmate is: Glorfindel. You are a true member of the House of the Golden Flower. Balrog-Slayer and prophet extraordinaire, you are the epitome of bravery, strength, and wisdom. You don't want to rule anyone, and no one rules you. This doesn't mean that you have a small heart. On the contrary, you would die for your friends and are a staunch ally against any foe.

How long would you survive in Tolkien's Middle-earth?
Hmmm... I have to admit, you are good enough to survive Middle-earth. You might not escape unscathed, but you will survive. Would you like to join the PPC, we need people of your remarkable resilience and intelligence.


Which Tolkien artist are you?

How much of a Tolkien expert are you? 
Expert! You are the person that everyone comes up to and asks questions about LoTR. You know all the answers, and chaces are you cut pictures of the LoTR characters out of calendars and magazines so you can put them on your wall. You've got Tolkien or Middle-earth wallpaper on your desktop, and you read The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit (there and Back again) and The Silmarrillion at least once a year. I salute you!

Maybe you've read the books, but you're not exactly up to par. Keep reading!

How well do you know the world of Tolkien? 
WISEST OF ALL BEINGS-To you, the world of Tolkien is the real world, and you have familiarized yourself with it. Are you sure you're not a foreigner from Middle-earth?

Which of Tolkien's heroines are you? 
You are Idril! Idril was a princess of the hidden Elvish city of Gondolin, and hailed as a great beauty. She married Tuor, a Man who took up residence in Gondolin, but without the dad-induced glitches Luthien and Beren had to put up with. Unfortunately, glitches still arrived in the form of Maeglin, Idril's cousin, who secretly loved her, and who betrayed Gondolin to Morgoth in hopes of finally having her. Idril, however, had never trusted him, so when Morgoth attacked, she had an escape route ready, and she, Tuor, and their son Earendil fled Gondolin and emerged unscathed. Idril and Tuor later sailed to Valinor, where Tuor was granted the grace of joining the ranks of the Elves - a boon that was offered to him alone of all Men. As Idril, you are popular, level-headed, and intuitive.

Which female character from Tolkien's works are you most like?

Silmarillion Tolkien Elven Quiz-Vanyar, Noldor, Teler, Sindar-Finished! 
You're one of the Sindarin/Nandor/Laiquendi! You like trees and peace and singing. And thats about it. You probably dont like these nutty Noldor who go around randomly starting wars. Still, they probably saved you from slavery and certain death. My advice to you is that you may be unable to see the forest for the trees. Make friends with your neighbors- and watch out for a kid called Turin.

You're a regular elf. Enjoy all the frolicking, and the immortality.

Which female elven character in Tolkien's Silmarillion are you? 
Idril Celebrindal, daughter of Turgon and Elenwe. She was born in Valinor, and later lived in her father's city of Gondolin. She married a mortal man, Tuor, and their son was Earendil. After the fall of Gondolin, the two lived in Sirion for a time before sailing to Valinor. Her name means 'sparkling brilliance'.

Could you learn Tolkien's Languages? 
You have a 0-24% chance of really learning Tolkien's languages.


In Which Tolkien Book Do You Belong? (with Pictures) 
The Silmarillion.

Os melhores quizzes sobre Jane Austen

Achei alguns quizzes sobre Jane Austen e suas obras. Só por diversão, fiz alguns e selecionei os mais legais. Quem quiser fazer também, partilha o resultado. Os meus resultados estão abaixo (não gostei muito de alguns, não, mas...):


Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice-which character are you:
You are Ms. Elizabeth Bennet--quick witted and with just the touch of pride which you do not like to admit you have.

Jane Austen novel quiz:
The Pride and Prejudice type: Truly an Austenite, this type is a Romantic at heart, but they always keep their head and are wary of melodrama. Lively, clever, and independent. These people are easily amused by their own foibles and the quirkly foibles of others. They lament society today, and dream of the time when guys were gentlemen and girls were ladies.

What Jane Austen gentleman is for you?
Mr. Darcy. Pride and Prejudice's FitzWilliam Darcy is aloof, but he feels deeply. If he loves you, he's made up his mind for good, though you may not have noticed that that's how he feels. He is, of course, rather too convinced of his own worth and tends towards snobbery, but he has a good heart and will marry you despite what his relations might think.

Which Jane Austen movie should you watch?
Pride and Prejudice 2005

Which Jane Austen Novel is Right For You?
Emma (surpresa, surpresa...)

Which Jane Austen female villain are you?
Mary Crawford (Mansfield Park)
You are a delightful, beautiful creature who seems to care only about herself. You tend to value money and fun above everything else, but you're always great to be around. Love is something you desire, but your value of modern ideas and of money can keep you from really feeling it. Your values are...questionable, but most people never even notice. "Selfishness must always be forgiven, you know, because there is no hope for a cure."-Mary Crawford.

101 things you didn’t know about Jane Austen (Patrice Hannon)



Título: 101 things you didn’t know about Jane Austen
Autora: Patrice Hannon
Editora Adams Media, 256 p.

Onde e quando Jane Austen nasceu, como foi sua educação, como ela era, onde viveu, quando começou a escrever seus romances,... Estas são algumas das perguntas respondidas por Patrice Hannon neste pequeno livro. Um guia biográfico sobre a vida da escritora, assim eu defino este livro. A autora realmente esclarece 101 fatos da vida da autora, desde seu nascimento até sua morte. Alguns aspectos que eu gostei terem sido abordados foram: o relacionamento que Jane mantinha com sua irmã Cassandra e o contexto em que ela escreveu e publicou suas obras. A autora também nos fornece uma ótima bibliografia sobre a autora. Livro muito recomendado.
