Probably the most amazing personality quiz you will ever take. It is very funny and attuned to the present. Donate any amount to take it. The book recommendations I got as a result also look stellar (and I have not heard of any of them!). Last day is today!
Today is Giving Tuesday—and the final day of Bookmatch! If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, now’s your last chance to support n+1 and get some reading recommendations while you’re at it.
