What Your Favorite Book Says About You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Davidson chapter.

1. Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling

  A warm, friendly demeanor exudes from you. You treat everyone equally, and you stand up for what’s right.

 

2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

 You’re charismatic, outgoing, and everyone wants an invite to your party. You go overboard every now and then, but is there really any other way?

 

3. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

 

 You’re usually the cleverest person in the room. You always have a witty remark or comeback at the ready. It takes a lot to change your opinion of something or someone.

 

4. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

 You’re a survivor. You care deeply about the people close to you and would do anything for them. Maybe you’re also good at archery?

 

5. The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis

 

An animal lover, you long for adventure in a charming, quaint way. You have an affinity for vintage décor and clothing.

 

6. Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene

 

Anything you try, you can pull off. You’re competent, organized, and polite.

 

7. 1984 by George Orwell

Skeptical and wary, you don’t exactly look on the bright side. Yet, you understand things quickly and are willing to sacrifice everything for love.

 

8. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

 

You lead a life of intrigue and diverse experiences. You’re as at home with millionaires as you are in the slums. You’re probably an art history major.

 

9. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

 

 You’re observant and possibly shy, but you feel strongly. You try to be kind to everyone, and you take your spiritual life very seriously.

 

10. The Maze Runner by James Dashner

  Intellectual and academic, you can figure anything out. Also, you can endure a lot of suffering.

 

11. Lord of the Flies by William Golding

 

 You know what you want, and you’re strong enough to go after it. You’re competitive and resourceful. You go a little wild on occasion.

 

12. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

 

 The most important thing for you is to be yourself. Authority figures must earn your respect before you’ll listen to them.

 

13. Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

You never back down, which means you’re sometimes misunderstood. But those who get to know you feel proud to have such a humorous, adventurous friend.

 

14. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

 

You’re plucky and open-minded. You try to be a good person and, for the most part, you succeed.

 

15. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

 

You’re more interested in reality than in dreams. In the face of any horror, you remain heroic, brave, and loving.

 

16. The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman

 

You’re not afraid to be controversial. You say what you think and do what you need to.

 

17. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

 

Pride and Prejudice’s less flashy cousin, you employ your morality, intellect, and steadfastness to make the world a better place.

 

18. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

 

 When you decide you like someone, you devote yourself entirely to them. This loyalty is admirable, though somewhat overboard. You have intense mood swings.

 

19. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

 

You have a well-developed sense of nostalgia. You’re also quite noble: you never run away from your obligations.

 

20. Hamlet by William Shakespeare

You think a lot, and you probably wear lots of black.
