Favorite Character

What is your favorite character from a book?

My favorite character is Sherlock Homles. He is in-your-face, humorous at times, and of course smart enough to solve every mystery.

My second favorite character is Snape from Harry Potter. I hate his guts, but he is fun to debate about (see HBP section).

Hermione springs to mind. She reminds me of myself, only infinately cooler, since she's done things like punch Malfoy and lived through more than a few adventures.

I also love Artemis Fowl. Holly was cool, but Artemis had an edge to him, considering he was the good bad guy.

I wish Jim Rockford was a character from a book and not a 70's tv show, because he knows how to talk his way out of situations, and is very real: he doesn't solve every case - sometimes the police are ahead of him - but he tries, and isn't completely gung-ho, but funny.

Ah, my favorite was always Lyra from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series.

Oh come on Isis, who's cooler than you?

I would guess Herimonie because she "done things like punch Malfoy and lived through more than a few adventures. "

haha, you're quite the sharp one JEM. Admirable to the core.

Isis · 08-16-2005, 10:48 PM

And just in general.
I feel like my commentary on Hermione made me look like a presumptuous pain in the rump. >_< Not intentional, I swear.

Lyra is a great one, indeed. I wish I'd read the whole series at once instead of spreading it out over 4 years.

Nah, it didn't make you sound presumptuous.

Have you read any of the other series that he [Phillip Pullman] wrote?

I always imagined the His Dark Materials series to be true, I bet my daemon would be something cuddly and cute, like a ferret!

Isis · 08-17-2005, 03:23 PM

None of the series. I tried to read the Ruby in the Smoke a few years ago and got lost, confused, and bored. I did read the Tin Princess and thought it was very good, but I think it's a stand alone novel.

Vennila X Vana · 08-17-2005, 10:05 PM

Yeah, they were a little hard to plough through. I did read them all though and in the end I got the feeling that it wasn't worth it.

Was Tin Princess the one about the girl and the fireworks?

I think there was a war closing in around her tiny country, and she and a small group were trying to keep it it's own state...there could have been fireworks involved.
