I'd love to know specifically, which characters (not always obvious by the title). I'd also love to see comments, but they seem hard to get to or nonexistent.
Got to be Fluffy the talking earthworm who hails from the big Apple-The Book-The Chronicles of the Virago: Book 1
I still adore Gus in Lonesome Dove! I fell in love with him while reading the book. Who could ever forget Scarlet even tho she isn't the most likeable? Another fascinating character is Norah Lofts Jassy. Another interesting person is the woman in The Evening Star also by Larry McMurtry. What was her name? She was so entertaining.
I voted for I Capture the Castle - Cassandra - she must be one of my favourite literary characters. She feels like someone you know and quite like a friend throughout. It was so hard finishing that book, knowing I'd never really see her again, and accepting she's a fictional character.
I voted for The Princess Bride, Hamlet and Fight Club.... The whole cast of The Princess Bride is unforgettable..... Come on, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father--Prepare to die!!" How could you ever forget THAT??
And Fight Club... They have to be talking about Tyler Durden/Narrator, but Marla Singer isn't bad either.
Do I even have to explain why Hamlet got my vote?
I voted for Les Miserables.
C'mon who can forget a man released from prison and starts his life being, like, the most charitable man in France, a police inspector who's hell-bent on doing his duty, and honestly 11 hot French boys! Not to sound shallow, but each has his own personality which just makes you want to classify every guy you know as an "Enjolras" or "Montparnasse." :) Not to mention that 9 out of those 11 guys die for a cause they believe in. I dare you to forget that. Vive la Republique!
I was surprised The House of the Scorpion isn't on this list...at least it isn't right now. That book has like the best characters of all time!
