 So who is mine? Hmmm. If it's the one I like the most it may be Miles Vorkosigan. Or Lord Vetinari from the Discworld books. Oh, I guess Horace Rumpole would be up there too. If it's the one I identify with most strongly, probably William Henry Devereaux, Jr. (from Straight Man by Richard Russo). |

In my yoot it was J.P. Donleavy's protagonists, lately the only literary characters I sepnd much time with and like are Frog and Toad, and of course Squirell Nutkin.

Lady Sharrow from Iain M Banks' Against a Dark Background
Lucifer Box from Mark Gatiss' The Vesuvious Club Thursday Next from Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair series How disappointing that having started a programme of reading the classics, all my characters are from books less than 10 years old!

Lazarus Long, from Time Enough To Love, in a landslide.
Others I admire, identify with, enjoy traveling with, etc. Job, from the book of Job. The narrator, the widower of Lenore, in The Raven. Roland, from the Dark Tower series. There are others.
