Ignatius Reilly

Heathcliff and Cathy


Ignatius is quickly becoming one of my favorites..."Oh, my GAWD!" lol

I'm on chapter 6 and this book is hilarious. I had been meaning to read it and I have to thank Dan for reminding me about it.

The Jones character is really funny too.

I have so many favorites it's hard to pick one...

Madame DeFarge in A Tale Of Two Cities

Mouse in Devil In A Blue Dress

The Weasley Twins in Harry Potter

Aramis in The Three Musketeers

Samwise Gamgee in Lord Of The Rings

If I was forced to choose though, I would have to say Merlin from the King Arthur legends.

YES!
he is my favorite of all the vampires, my reluctant,loving hero who I rejoiced at seeing everytime he appeared in another chronicle. I absolutely love Micheal Curry also, he's cut from the same tragic cloth.
I have a thing for Anne Rice characters, they endure and I grieve when they are gone.

I also love Scout in To kill a Mockingbird, as a child I think I related to her more than anyone else. I loved her spunk and that she was a daddy's girl.


You gotta be kidding me girl, Louis is the whiniest vampire mofo in vamp lit - on the screen he's rivaled by Angel. lol disbelief You're virtually mortal and you need to feed on blood. Deal with it. rolleyes

How are you doing? rose hug

that's why I love him. I am good hug how are you?

Who was your favourite book character of all time'


Probably Holiday Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's

The character you could relate to


Esther Greenwood from The Bell Jar sad

that opened your eyes, that changed your perspective


Eldridge Cleaver from Soul on Ice (Cleaver's autobiography)

or you just thought was cool cool


Trixie Belden
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Who was your favourite book character of all time': Walter Mosely's Easy Rawlins.


The character you could relate to: Lily Bart from The House Of Mirth. I just hope I don't end up like her.

that opened your eyes, that changed your perspective: Malcolm Little AKA Detroit Red.

or you just thought was cool: Ms.Vivian Baxter,,,,Maya Angelou's mom. If there was a woman who truly embodied and deserved the word "DIVA", she would be the one.

Ignatius Reilly

Heathcliff and Cathy


If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day. Not he. Not the world. Not even you, Cathy, can come between us.

That's from the 1939 screenplay...but still... cool

current favorite is Deb Morgan in the Dexter books

She is a tough/foul mouthed cookie on the outside, but you can see her vulnerability.

the tv show portrays her so well
seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before music beret

ALOT:

Ender - from Ender's Game. This child was born and raised to be something, and chose another path. His decision to do so brought with it a mountain of troubles. But he broke free of his 'programming'. I can relate to this on so many levels.




Oh, Jane, U'r so predictable!
