>> Dan Brown -- Award-winning author Dan Brown has written a complicated role for you with his expensive pen. You are a humanities professor at an Ivy League university, but also, somehow, in mortal peril. Your love interest is picturesque but ill-mannered and French. This is somehow worth several million dollars.

Kafka seems low-effort though. I humbly substitute:

You have inside you an extraordinary writer but are instead employed at the postal service, where you spend the rest of your days watching your first manuscript submission mistakenly misrouted back across your desk.

This is also true of Indiana Jones, which everyone likes.

Indiana Jones taught at Marshall College, I hardly think that qualifies as Ivy League. What a disappointment to his father that guy was.
