Characters you'd like to know in real life

[Rebekah]

Thusrday Next! Wouldn't she be fun at dinner parties?
Amelia Bedlia would be great too as long as she didn't work for me!
Nancy Drew was my greatest childhood hero. I want to be her friend so I can go with her to all those cool places at her father's expense, do all those fun things and help her solve a mystery too! Maybe she could hook me up with Ned Nickerson's brother!Oh yeah I hope she lets me drive her blue convertible roadster!

[Nancy]

Ooo - I'm liking that Nancy Drew idea! Good one!

[Mirza]

Definitely Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind
Darcy from Pride and Prejudice
Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights
Then I have to decide between them.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I haven't yet finished Digging to America, but I already wish I knew kind and wise Maryam.

[Sonja]

Rebekah, I would LOVE to know Thursday Next!

[Antje]

@ Mirza: Sorry, but about Rhett we would have to fight! :-)

[Amanda]

Just finished Jane Eyre and I would have to say I would LOVE to meet both Jane and Mr. Rochester. Love the characters Bronte created!

[Annabell]

I would like Jace from Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instrument Trilogy. He's so dang HOT! hehe

[Jane]

Sookie Stackhouse

[AJ]

Just finished Ender's Game and started Speaker for the Dead and I have to say I want to meet Ender! He's one of the coolest cats ever.

[Elise]

The March family from Little Women :)

[Carrie]

I'm with the girls who mentioned Stephenie Plum. It would make my day to have her as a friend. Never a dull moment for sure!

Much as I love Jane Austen, I don't think I'd get along well with her characters. I'd be too frustrated by the constant propriety and need for perfect manners. Even the rebellious ones in her novels would be considered perfect ladies in our world.

Katniss from The Hunger Games would be a top pick too. I'd love to learn archery from her. ;)

[Janice (JG)]

Yes, absolutely Travis McGee. And Dave Robicheaux(James Lee Burke).

I would have liked to hang out with Huck Finn when I was a tween (maybe be his girlfriend?). I envied Becky for getting to be the girl in Huck's & Tom's life.

Definitely Melanie from GWTW... living right next door.

[Elise]

Katniss would be good to know as well!

Definitely Melanie from GWTW! I want her as my sister in law !
