Holden Cauffield-Catcher in the Rye

These are only the ones that come to mind immediately, I'm sure if I thought harder I could remember some more.

P.S: Thanks to MT for reminding me of the names of some of these guys, even though I would have thought of them myself (I think).

 

Mine are:

Strider, from Lord of the Rings (before we knew it was Aragorn)

Axel, the young guy from "Journey to the center of the earth"
Sherlock Holmes (no presentation needed)
Kull (an atlantean guy from a fantasy book whose name i forgot)

And i think that's all - most of the books i read are not fiction but rather educational/informative.

 

Matrim - Wheel Of Time
Perrin - Wheel Of Time
Lan - Wheel Of Time
Magiere - Dhampir
Leesil - Dhampir
Moggot - Old Kingdom Trilogy

Long John Silver - Treasure Island
Sancho Panza - Don Quixote
Corran Horn - I, Jedi (although he's in a lot of other Star Wars books, I only liked him in this one)
Virgil - The Inferno

That's the scope of it, but I think I'm missing a few.

 

I look more for the idea or concept of the book rather than the characters that inhabit it. But anyway here is a few of those characters that have influenced me enough to mention them.

Novinha - Speaker for the Dead
Ender - Ender's Game
Randy - Alas Babylon
Wamba - Ivanhoe

 

Paul Atreides - Dune
God Emperor Leto the Second - Dune
MacBeth - MacBeth

More to come if I think of more...

 

I like just about every character in every book I've read, and that's alot of books. I just don't like Voldemort in Harry Potter. :dizzy2: Drizzt is one of the coolest though, he just sounded really sexy to me and he knows how to kick @$$.

 

I'm a compulsive reader so I have quite a few.

Raistlin-Dragonlance
Mat-WoT
Lizzy-Pride and Prejudice
Pippin-LotR
Dante(He's so vain!!) :anime: -Divine Comedy
Einstein(the genius golden retriver)-Watchers
Basil-Redwall
Lupin-Harry Potter

Oh well...there's some.

 

Gah, I can't beleive I forgot the characters from Disc World :anger2:

The Patrician
Vimes
Rincewind
DEATH

 

Here's a few:

Dounia: Crime and Punishment
Sirius Black: Harry Potter
Neville Longbottom: Harry Potter
Lyra: His Dark Materials
Sam: Lord of the Rings

 

Roland Deschain-the Dark Tower series
Damien Kilcannon Vryce-the Coldfire Trillogy
Gerald Tarrant-Coldfire Trillogy
Portia-Merchant of Venice
Atticus Finch-To Kill a Mockingbird
Magiere-Dhampire
the narrator (Jack/Joe/whatever the heck you want to call him)-Fight Club
Carl-Lullaby
Beowulf-Beowulf (surprisingly)
Frankenstein's monster-Frankenstein
Apropos-Sir Apropos of Nothing and The Woad to Wuin
Shadow-American Gods
Laura-American Gods
Odin-American Gods
Mr. Nancy-American Gods
Czernobog-American Gods
Aziraphale-Good Omens
Crowley-Good Omens
Anathema-Good Omens

I just noticed I have more favorite male characters than favorite female characters. I wonder if that means anything. I seem to like a lot of people from American Gods as well. Weird.

 

Btw, the three official names for the narrator in Fight Club are "Narrator", "Jack", and "Rupert" (Rupert was only seen in sub-titles/captions for the movie, on the DVD, however).

After reading a few more books (and including a few I forgot)...

John Dolan Vincent - The Contortionist's Handbook
Raoul Duke - Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
Ratboy/Toret - Dhampir/Thief Of Lives
Chane - Thief Of Lives
