then you have not gone through it or you have just - 'gone through it' .
where on earth are Sherlock Holmes fans hiding? possibly busy collecting evidence for the above declarations.

Tobias(Four) from Divergent..me too :)
@Anuradha Thank you so much for asking this question.Okay here's my list (in no particular order)
1)Neville Longbottom (Harry Potter series)
He is brave. The tragedies in his life are probably worse than Harry's. It is one thing to see your parents die and know they will always love you.However, knowing that your parents would never remember that you are their son, would never love you like a parent loves his child is worse than anything I can think of. He is clever and impulsive. He is loyal.The fact that he appears to be a little good-for-nothing in the first few books is probably because his grandmother never treated him like he could be anything. She always sought her lost son in him.Hence, he was never confident about himself.
2) Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games series)
Do I even need to tell anyone why? He is just amazing and let's keep it to that.
3) Luke Castellan ( Percy Jackson series)
Even I don't know why I like him so much. Maybe because, at the end of the day he did what was right. It is our choices far more than our abilities that make us who we are. :)
4)Tobias Eaton/Four (Divergent Trilogy)
He is brave, handsome, clever, intelligent, selfless, madly in love......
What else do I need?
5) Haymitch Abernathy (Hunger Games trilogy)
He is clever, wise and on a scale of 1 to 10, 200% amazing!
6) Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (Harry Potter series)
First of all, he has got an amazing name. Second of all, I don't think there is any need to elaborate why he is everone's favorite, not just mine.
7)Lestat deLioncourt (The Vampire Chronicles)
He is evil, charming, dauntless, graceful, chic and French!
As far as female characters are concerned. These are my favorites:
1)Hermione Granger ( Harry Potter Series)
Intelligent, wise, brave, loyal, courageous, trustworthy, helpful, caring and what not! She is what I'd call a perfect badass!
She is undoubtedly one of the strongest female characters I have ever come across.
2)Annabeth Chase (Percy Jackson series)
My reasons are the same ones that I gave for Hermione Granger

I intend to read it soon Navjeet...I know in classic circles asking for explanation of abbreviated form PnP is akin to sacrilege :)

This chap Darcy featured in TOI Sunday supplement yesterday as the most desirable male vide a poll conducted sometime back !!!
Mine is - Levin, Konstantin Dmitrich Levin from Anna Karenina. Is there anyone who stands on my side ?
M wrote: "Oh yeah! So he does.. :) I saw it too :)"Somewhere or the other his line,"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun",appears in every heart that falls in love.

She is so helpless and pure. My favourite ...""like her because she is so selfless in love.." Oh! please do care to name a book, as a recommendation, as I would definitely like to read it. I love the quality you stated...
@ Navjeet hmmmm !!!! That set me wondering..... !! Hmmmm !!! I m of the opinion guyzzz alwsyz realise it sooner... :) is it not ???.

Thanks...will try these free e book sites...being a widely read classic, locating it shouldn't be too difficult :)
Navjeetsingh wrote: "Mine is - Levin, Konstantin Dmitrich Levin from Anna Karenina.

and i looooove Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, Rhett Butler(I Don't Give a Damn),
Rick from Casablanca(I Think this is the start of a Beautiful Friendship),
Harry Potter and Family(dead and alive)
also last but not the least Rand Al Thor(The Wheel of Time Series)

Percy Jackson 7 Harry Potter..yeah! me too..
I'll definitely join the Mr.Darcy club here :D <3And Mr.Thornton from North and South.
And Satyajit Ray's Feluda,
And the Weasley twins from Harry Potter series (can't choose one :D).
I cried and cried when Fred died :(
I am not in love with any fictional character but I love Keith Stewart in Trustee from the Toolroom by Nevil Shute, Sam and Frodoand Gandalf in Lord of the Rings and many more:)
well it has to be Mr.Darcy frm Pride and Prejudice. though his was a hateful character in the beginning, but with his weaknesses and his unconditional love..i really liked his portrayal..
I know we're not discussing movies here,but I figured comic books shouldn't be a problem.So it's Tony Stark for me :D
Dev from The Valentine's Day Clue. He's a happy-go-lucky guy who does many things for his friends selflessly. He's very sensitive, but doesn't show it... and he's very funny, doesn't mind looking stupid only to draw some attention.
Sir Able in Gene Wolfe's Wizard Knight duology. He's good for the sake of being good, which sounds boring to most people, but I've known enough bad people to appreciate such things. And he's in touch with the Divine.
I love the eccentric and fascinating character of Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium series by Stieg Larsson.
Have you seen the movie? I mean the English one, not the swedish one. She has portrayed the character so well, I'm sure it will give you a better picture about Lisbeth. You should watch it :)
Well i shall second all those people who cited Lisbeth Sandler.. I have adored her be it the books or in movies.. I like Sherlock Holmes too he is way too awesome. And i adored Laurie all the time while reading Little women. And I find Shiva from the Shiva trilogy very hot..
