When I was reading Sound and the Fury I was in a really Quentin frame of mind, so I pretty much was him when I read it, except without a sister.

That's another thing. Do any of you reliably find depictions of precocious-ish students in literature scarily mirroring your own though patterns? I'm thinking Stephen Dedalus and, of course, Quentin. (Maybe Pierre from War and Peace, but I don't remember what age he was)
