Like Vladimir Putin, you always keep your cool, even under circumstances that would cause others to break out a sweat. Normally you keep a low profile, but when an opportunity arises, you decisively spring into action, catching others off-guard and making the most of the opening presented to you. Take care to reign in the smartassery, though, or risk antagonizing others to the point of provoking massive retaliation.
Personality Match
Like Vladimir Lenin, you are confident in your intellectual ability and supremely driven to improve the world according to your vision - even if it means you have to steamroll those who fail to understand how your way is better. You probably think that it takes a special and unique kind of person to understand the full merit of your abilities and therefore see little reason to listen to others anyway. Our advice to you is to not be so dismissive of other people's input - but we don't expect that you are willing to take it.

Historical Background
Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) was a Russian Socialist politician and political theorist. After being expelled from school for anti-Czar activities he became a Marxist. Upon being exiled to Siberia, he fled to Europe and went on to found the Bolshevik Party. In 1917, after the Czar was removed from power, he returned to Russia. Lenin and Leon Trotsky were the main architects of the October Revolution, which dissolved the temporary government, crushed the feeding democratic developments in Russia and ultimately put the Bolshevik Party in Power.
Lenin was the first leader of the Soviet Union, which he ruled from 1917 until his death in 1924. During his tenure, the government instituted a series of measures that nationalized large industries, closed the free press, and set up concentration camps, and he personally ordered the killing of thousands of political opponents. Lenin's beliefs are known as Marxist-Leninism or simply Leninism and have been highly influential for many revolutionary groups and movements during the twentieth century.
I would rather read: A book about sports, or, A book about philosophy.
