Which Classic Author Is Your Soulmate? (Fun Way to Waste a Few Minutes if you are so inclined)
You got: Anton Chekhov
Calm and contemplative, you need someone who shares your desire to lie in a hammock in the Russian countryside, drink champagne, and think about the meaning of life. Both of you know that love, alas, is a fickle emotion, so you must cherish it for the fleeting moment in which it graces you.

I picked the Boardwalk and the Hiking Proposal, too.
The cabin it was not complete and Columbia, no.
I wonder at the algorithms used to determine the answers, sometimes.
on edit: I can see where one could expect Henry David Thoreau from that input ... 
You’re a real charmer, and you need someone who can match your charisma and witty banter. Oscar dines at the best clubs with the most interesting people, so he’s also your ticket to a wicked (pun intended) social scene. But beneath that flamboyant exterior is just a little boy desperately craving your love.
However, I don't agree.
So, instead I took the
Which Pet Should You Actually Have?
http://www.buzzfeed.com/chelseamarshall/which-pet-should-you-actually-have
Test, and got myself a Wombat.
I didn't think about it, but now looking at it, that is probably perfect.
You got: Wombat
The older you get, the wiser you get and you value that trait in others. You’re fantastic at maintaining long-term relationships with people so you need a pet who will do the same. You’re a quirkier version of a “dog person,” which is kind of exactly what a wombat is. Advice: You may need to move to Australia before living out this pet dream.
these little quizzes can be addicting
and look at that cute wombat
I want one, too 
You got: Boa Constrictor
You have the ability to see the best in people, and you’re great at thinking outside the box. You also have an interest in the arts and an unusually trusting personality.
so I'll do one 
thinking maybe I'd get a horse.
I got -- ta da -- medium to big dog AGAIN!
Will Power ... lol ... that would be a good username, right there 
Not bad for a middle-aged white woman that came from an upper-middle class family in a lily white suburb of Chicago!
You got: Langston Hughes
You and Langston are both sophisticated, politically conscious, sensitive souls, who draw strength from being on the forefront of progressive movements, but who also appreciate life’s simple pleasures: eating, sleeping, drinking, and being in love.
...I'm reading poetry that I probably never would have noticed otherwise. Yes, another simple pleasure. 
somehow, I can see that, ism
how romantic
that was my first thought, too
Yes, maybe I should.
You got: Henry David Thoreau
Via en.wikipedia.org
You want a man who’s simple, self-sufficient, and hardworking. A man who loves nature and flouts public opinion to create his own movement. A man who doesn’t even have a Twitter or Facebook. The two of you can live together, out in the tranquility of the woods, with no Wi-Fi, no electricity, no human contact whatsoever…actually, maybe you should retake this quiz.
I would not have predicted that. 
since she's a distant cousin of mine, but I got Thoreau. 
"unclaimed jewels," as it were. 
From In Exile: "...The gentleman is a good soul, excellent, and you are a beast, bad! The gentleman is alive, but you are dead. God created man to be alive and to have joy and grief and sorrow; but you want nothing, so you are not alive, you are stone, clay! A stone wants nothing and you want nothing. You are a stone, and God does not love you, but He loves the gentleman!"
BTW, if you like wombats, how do you feel about capybaras?
You and Langston are both sophisticated, politically conscious, sensitive souls, who draw strength from being on the forefront of progressive movements, but who also appreciate life’s simple pleasures: eating, sleeping, drinking, and being in love.
Not surprised there are a lot of us
Virginia Woolf, Jan Austen and, Sylvia Plath have been mentioned. So, that makes three female authors.
However, the gender preference omission is pretty glaring so, I will give you that ...
because at the time I made my post, the only female author I saw mentioned was Virginia Woolf.
At any rate, I was aiming for Erica Jong, but my, um, "soulmate", was some guy who looked like he had just come out of a beatnik cafe.
who is exactly who I thought of when I read the OP title!
Except that I'm straight.
I like that result.
Must be the sophisticated and politically conscious, sensitive souls stuff that matches us up.
Yes!
This was taken over ten years ago
Thank you Tuesday Afternoon!
I'm slowly slipping back in ......
peace~
