What Book Are You? (Part II)

A commenter to a 2004 post (What Book Are You?) alerted me to an updated version of that query. So here is the book that I supposedly am:

You're The Scarlet Letter!
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Raised in a culture steeped in religious values, you raise some serious questions about the nature of that culture. While you no longer see yourself as a part of that society, you are a staunch defender of the rights of those who wish to remain there to do so. At the same time, you illustrate the hypocrisies of that society and some of the better intended people therein. Ultimately, it's possible the best improvement you think anyone could make would be the improvement of communication devices on ships. Your least favorite letter is A.
(Take the Book Quiz II at the Blue Pyramid.)

All told, I was much more pleased to be associated with Vonnegut than with Hawthorne. Like millions of Americans, I endured The Scarlet Letter as a high schooler and have no appetite to ever experience it again. And "A" is actually one of my favorite letters, for obvious reasons.
