I'm "Prufrock and Other Observations" by T.S. Eliot.

"Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons."

Sounds about right... Which book are you?
