Holden Caulfield.
Holden Caulfield.
I'll go ahead and answer for The Man:
Kilgore Trout from <i>Breakfast of Champions</i>
Jim Pooley and John O'Malley, from various Robert Rankin books.
Whatchamate Jim, whatchamate John.
I can never pick a favorite favorite, but some on my list are Curtis from Chris Bachelder's Bear v. Shark , Holden and Phoebe Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, Louis from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Yossarian from Joseph Heller's Catch 22 ...
That's all I can think of.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Zed~ The Sword of Truth series.
Tasslehoff~ Dragonlance series. Such happy nonsense with a desire to do good, and with a twinge of sorrow. Like when he was explaining when he went home after his first adventures and he was telling all the other kender about them, but none of them seemed to care
...
"Yossarian from Joseph Heller's Catch 22 ..."
Definitely agree there.
I'd also add:
Humbert Humbert from "Lolita"
Aeneas from the "Aeneid"
Hector from the "Iliad"
Hamlet from "Hamlet"
Take care all.
man, the captain only reads books for smart people. anyway, obviously everyone from LOTR (duh) and other then that, id have to say....like....harry potter? nah...well, kinda.
P.S. only certain Dragonlance books are good. I.E. anything written by Weis and Hickman. and Kaz the Minotaur. but thats it.
I wouldn't call them books for smart people, though many of them are lengthy reads, but the same can be said about both the LOTR and HP novels, so I'd say it's all even and really just comes down to personal preference.
I'd also like to add:
The mother and father from "To The Lighthouse"
and several characters from the works of Hemingway and Faulkner.
Take care all.
Raistlin and Tasslehoff are both good characters, I like them quite a bit.
I like a lot of book characters, some examples are Drizzt (Dark Elf trilogy) FitzChivalry (Farseer trilogy) Cadderly (Cleric quintet) and the majority of the characters from Discworld.The one that captured me the most is probably Roland of Gilead, from The Dark Tower.
Have you never read the Legend of Huma. Thats what I started with and it amazed me.P.S. only certain Dragonlance books are good. I.E. anything written by Weis and Hickman. and Kaz the Minotaur. but thats it.

[q=Ashi]Jo March from Little Women. Is that how to spell their last name? I don't really remember. [/q]
Yep, they are the Marches. I LOVE Jo. I swear, I was heartbroken when she (SPOILER)didn't accept Laurie. :weep:
[q=Big D]I'm a big fan of Nynaeve Al'Meara from The Wheel of Time.
That attitude... that strength... that temper!
A strong vein of independence, combined with sarcastic humour and a genuinely compassionate desire to use her intellect to help others. A beautiful character, in my opinion.[/q]
TOTALLY. She is so awesome! The other girls freakin' annoy me, except for Egwene. WHAT IS UP WITH THE STUPID RAND FAN CLUB?! ;_; I hate them all.
[q=Carrots]Zed~ The Sword of Truth series.[/q]
YES. Either Zed or Kahlan.
--> Another character I absolutely love is Anne Shirley from the Anne of Green Gables series. I wish she was real, so much. If she was, I know we'd TOTALLY be twins...sort of. We are, as Anne would say, kindred spirits. xDD I've loved this book ever since I was a child, and whenever I was going through a bad time in life, I'd read it and it made me feel better.
