yeah, I'd go with Falstaff - an honest-to-goodness out-and-out rogue.....

you knew where you stood with him, and kept a close eye on your granny.

Talk about your synchronicity.

Well, if you ever come out to the Boston area, you can drive to West Newbury, Mass. and see the real town hall that is pictured in the book.

I also

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

But, only if they are Dead.

This could be a very, very long list.

Some highlights (which is my way of saying these are the ones that sprung to mind first):

Burke, from the series of books by Andrew Vachss
Willy Wonka
Mowgli from Kipling's Jungle Books
Black Beauty
Jane Eyre
Menolly from Anne McCaffrey's Pern books
Jaelle n'ha Melora from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover
Sam, the kid from My Side of the Mountain
Paul Atreides, but only the first book. It was all downhill after Dune, some books sliding more rapidly than others.
Sherlock Holmes. How can you not like Holmes?

I have spent a lot of time in the world of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, but I can't say that they've ever made it to the level of "favorite," just familiar.

I'm about 3/4s way through 1984, and I've fallen in love with Winston.
