    Need a book recommendation? Take the coolest, weirdest literary quiz on the internet.

    It’s November, which means that n+1 is back with Bookmatch, a weird and honestly very fun personality test that will, through important questions like “what finger are you” and “where did you leave your phone,” and with the help of people like Hernan Diaz, Deborah Eisenberg, Miranda July, John Early, and Alexander Chee, determine which books you should read next. (After you spend way too many minutes thinking deeply about the qualities of fingers, of course.)

    Any donation to n+1 in the month of November gets you access to the quiz and a personalized list of ten book recommendations; larger donations come with extra perks, like free books. You can also give the quiz as a gift! And if you’re not a fan of fun for its own sake, rest assured that your donation will be going toward a good cause: it’s getting harder and harder for literary magazines to survive, and n+1 is one we can’t afford to lose.

    Get your Bookmatch here.
