Onion Budgie Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Welcome to the forum, Maxie! I've always loved Martin Benson from the Benson trilogy of books by Michael Carson. (Actually, there's a fourth in the series now, but it's far removed in tone from the earlier novels.) Benson is such an earnest, truthful, foot-in-mouth doofus that you can't help but love him. My main man, though, is Sherlock Holmes, forever and always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main man, though, is Sherlock Holmes, forever and always. Bloody love Sherlock! But I like Dr Watson more. Bridget Jones Louisa Clark (Me Before You) Libby Lomax (A Night In With...) Louis Creed (Pet Sematary) Gabriel Oak (Far From The Madding Crowd) There are more but will mean a lot more thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The ones I could come up with: Scarlett O'Hara. I've never read a character go through such evolution. June and Day from the Legend Trilogy. Robert and Maria from For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway Bob Arctor from A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K Dick and Howard Roarc from Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, but I liked Atlas Shrugged more.

itsmeagain Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Mr Pickwick from Dickens' Pickwick Papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCat Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Jane Eyre from the book with the same title. Behemoth from The Master and Margarita Hermione from the Harry Potter series. Hamlet Holden from Cathcher in the Rye Just kidding, Holden was the most annoying character in any book. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lau_Lou Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I do not know if we are going with fictional characters only. However, I fell in love with Richard Woodville when I read The Lady Of The Rivers. He was not the main character but had a huge role all the same. I did not know much about this man before I read the book. Other than he was the maternal great grandfather of Henry VIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
