Children's book memeage

white_hart has written a post about children’s book prize winners. I have read a lot of children’s books, and not just when I was a child. Tey are quite interesting lists; like white_hart I am sure I have forgotten some, and it might always be possible that I have recognised some names and think I have read them when in fact I haven’t.

If you are interested, I have read 28% of the Carnegie winners, only 7% of the Newberry winners, and 35% of the Booker winners.

Plus I knew Frank Cottrell Boyce at university (though he was just plain Frank Boyce back then; we did plays together) [And I just Googled him to make sure he was who I thought he was. And he was!]. And I met quite a few of these authors at one time or another. (But that is a whole other story, which I really should get around to telling. One day.)

( Lists, lists and more lists )

Your Score: quotation marks

You scored 53% Sociability and 88% Sophistication!

There is a lot more to you than meets the eye. You certainly get plenty of "action," but you'd be happier if those who lusted after you were more selective. You hate being used as a general intensifier; haven't these people ever heard of underlining? Italics? And yes, you remember the cruel words Mr. Joyce directed at you.

But you let none of this get you down; those who abuse you are destined for a "special" reward, sooner or later. You feel particularly warm toward periods, commas, exclamation points, and question marks, and usually wish to have them next to you. Parenthesis can sometimes trouble you.
