Pakistaniteen, thanks for posting in this thread. However, could you use some punctuation , as it is difficult to understand what you say? In fact it would be advisable to check for correct spelling, capital letters, commas and full stops before you enter your posts here. Thanks.

Wayyyy too many to list (or that I can even remember) but first character that comes to mind is Simkin from the Darksword trilogy. I've also hung out in my spare time a lot with the gang from The Three Musketeers and LotR and the Chronicles of Prydain.

And Superintendent Richard Jury from the Martha Grimes series. Somehow he always ends up falling madly in love with me.

My favourite characters always move into apartments in my head after I read about them, they stay a long time.

This one is easy... Dagny Taggart, John Galt, and/or Francisco d'Anconia from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. IMHO, these are some of the most intriguing characters in all of literature.

For me, its got to be Albus Dumbledore, Gandalf and Belgarath...ah, the stories they would tell.

I have a bunch! Let's see, there is the Fellowship bunch from LOTR plus Arwen and all the other elves and Eowyn, Faramir, Theoden and others. But I'd most like to meet Pippin the hobbit out of all the LOTR people, he's my fav. I also would be absolutely tickled to meet with all my friends from Harry Potter, especially Ron, Hagrid, Sirius and Harry himself. I'd also like to meet Draco so that I could make that smug little face of his go red with my witty rhetoric . Ditto for Professor Snape. I would be delighted to meet with the entire crew from Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park', especially Edmund Bertram and Fanny Price - my two favourite characters in that book. Other Austen characters I would like to meet include Elanor and Marianne from 'Sense and Sensibility' and Jane and Elizabeth Bennet from 'Pride and Predjudice.' and who could forget Mr. Darcy! Others include Murtag from 'Eragon', Willie Traynor from 'The Last Juror', the Valar, Melian, Luthien and Beren, and other characters from 'The Silmarillion, and lots lots more!

I'd love to meet Pug/Milamber from Raymond E. Feist's series of books.
I seem to have met every character I have ever read about in one form or another apart from Sherlock Holmes, but if I did meet him I would probably want to hit him for being insufferably arrogant.

-harriet, janey, sport, and ol' golly from the "harriet the spy" books.
-holly golightly from "breakfast at tiffany's".
-jane, from "half magic".
-le petit prince. although i'd appreciate it if he'd speak in english, since my french is a little rusty.
-pauline and charley, from "in watermelon sugar".
-charlie gordon, from "flowers for algernon".

The Genie from Arabian Nights

Oh, wow, I hadn't thought about that book in ages! It was one of my very favorite books when I was a child. I'm going to see if I can't find a copy of it.

It would be nice in theory to meet those two and all the other members of IDEATH. However,after thinking it over? I find I have known far too many like them in the past -folks like that tend to slip through one's fingers like sand, and the events in their lives never seem to leave an imprint on themselves or the people they interact with.

Oh my gosh, I soooo wanted to be Harriet! I took to eating tomato sandwiches (still do, actually ) and even started my own spy notebook and everything. Unfortunately at the time we lived in a big apartment complex, so the most I could do was listen at peoples' doors. Hey, I was only 8 or 9...

Simon Templar, aka 'The Saint', created by Leslie Charteris.
Hercules Poirot, the brilliant Belgian detective, created by Agatha Christie.

I'm with Nemesis & bee about meeting those from the Belgariad series. That would be awesome! I would also love to meet any of Mercedes Lackey's Heralds, especially Talia.

I always wanted to meet Atticus Finch.

Agree with wanting to meet Roland from the Dark Tower although I was disappointed by the way he looked in the artwork for the books. Not at all the way I imagined. It's the same with films as well.
Would also lurve to meet Rupert Campbell Black from Jilly Cooper's books. Arrogant, rich, good looking. I can always dream!!!

I would like to meet the following book characters:

--Albus Dumbledore
--Harry Potter
--Charles Wallace Murry, Mrs Whatit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which (from Wrinkle in Time series)
--Aslan, the lion (from Chronicles of Narnia)
--Sherlock Holmes
--Fudge (from Judy Blume's "Fourth Grade Nothing" books).

I too, would love to meet Charles Wallace and his sister Meg. It would be a treat to know Meg's boyfriend Calvin, too, since he had the best sense of humour and tended to take things as they came. The 'whosit' sisters might be harder to pin down, since they were more spirit than concrete entity. I'm not sure I ever knew who they really were, since they were only 'playing tourist' as human beings.

It would be a lot of fun to know Stephanie Plum and all of her family, and colleagues.
From The Stephanie Plum Mysteries by Janet Evanovich. My favorite is: Ten Big Ones. I wish she could write a little faster...

I almost said Stephanie Plum as well, since I really enjoy the series. But I think that after awhile I'd feel like I'd have to whack her upside the head to see is she can't get her stuff together. However, I wouldn't mind meeting Joe or Ranger.

Been a while since I posted here - and my characters haven't much changed
Miss Marple
Hecule Poirot
Neville Longbottom
Harry Potter
And of the Weasleys
Hermione Granger
Albus Dumbledore
I'd been happy to meet any Agatha Christie - as long as they didn't murder me! - or any Harry Potter character. The exception would be Lord Voldemort!

Lincoln Rhyme (by Jeffrey Deaver)
Hannibal Lecter (only socially, though! wink, wink)
Zaphod Beeblebrox
Dr Watson
James Bond
Dr Doolittle
Jean Valjean
Hawkeye Pierce
Simon Templar
Jean-Luc Picard

I find outsiders and observers, people who although they may sometimes change the world do not quite connect with it fascinating. So perhaps I would enjoy meeting the characters in this list:

1) Tom Bombadil who has no master from Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’
2) Natty Bumpo dressed in buckskin and leather stockings dashing through the forests of the east in Cooper’s tails of the early frontier.
3) Blind Rhysling Heinlein’s engineer hero for the space age. In and singing ‘The Green Hills of Earth
4) Fr. David Telemond SJ. Probably based on my name sake in Moriss West’s ‘Shoes of the Fisherman’
5) HAL9000. Hero, Villain or Machine? From Clarke’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’
6) Milton’s Satan, rather more noble than evil in ‘Paradise Lost’
7) William of Baskerville, a man with sensibilities from beyond his time, named for a detective and a logician in a time of faith and ignorance. He appears in Eco’s ‘The Name of the Rose’
8) Dangerous Beans a good name for an educated rodent but an unlikely one for a hero making a stand against the darkness. One of Maurice’s, or Pratchett’s.
9) Strelnikov, a figure of fire and conviction. Perhaps in part he is based on Trotsky? From Boris Pasternak’s ‘Doctor Zhivago’
10) The Little Prince alter ego of the Aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and a fine draft’s man when it comes to snakes that have eaten elephants.

I'd love to meet Orson Scott Card's Ender Wiggin. The main character of Ender's Game (and it's sequels)... he's a genius, and such a deep, interesting character.

hi all
well, let's see: right this second i think of cyrano de bergerac for i have always admired his ability to sling words around as well as his sword [who can forget the comparisons to his nose-and

then, too, i am a sucker for folks (as in the tale of 2 cities of dickens) where another hero show HIS love by his extraordinary capacity to give without hope of any return by also dying.


i have had a soft spot in my heart for rebecca in sir walter scott's ivanhoe.
i must have read that almost 70 years ago and remember not much except for remember to like rebecca and see if i could find one for myself. never did though.

also admire muchly the dialogue in the spenser mystery series.

as soon as i quit writing i will probably think of three dozen more like don quixote. i used to quote the "donde se una puerta. . ." of cervantes etc. along with some haiku by basho and a quote from the saikontan.
