Currently reading a book that will eliminate my U charcter, that will put me to two remaining, Q and Z. With The Greek Coffin Mystery and The Adventures of Ellery Queen near the top of my TBR I expect Q will go away soon too.
Q is easy; just grab an Ellery Queen short story collection or novel and you can use Inspector Queen or Ellery as they are characters in many of the Queen written stories.

Update: I just finished "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It has a character name Julian Carax. The X is at the end, but I was hoping to count it for my X as this is the first character at all that I have encountered with even an X in the name. If I can count it, I am up to 24/26.
I'm reading The Adventures of Ellery Queen currently which will clear the letter Q for me as Inspector Richard Queen and Ellery Queen are possibilities to fill the Q . I suppose I could have gone with a Star Trek:TNG novel featuring Q as well.
