Maugli (Rudyard Kipling) is my most fave one

 

virgil dante's divine comedy (inferno)

 

Paul Atraties from Dune

 

Puck from "Midsummer's night dream".

 

Sydney Carlton - A Tale of Two Cities
&
Rosie Moon- Guitar Highway Rose

 

Scout 'To kill a mocking bird'

Lady Macbeth
Emilia & Iago 'Othello'

 

Susan, Death's granddaughter from the Discworld books. I love her.

 

Zaphod........Hitch hikers guide to the galexy............sweet..........

 

Got a few:


Death - From Terry Pratchet's Discworld series.
Jo - From Louisa Alcott's Little Women books.
Sealink - From Gabriel King's Wild Road series.

 

There are too many to choose from. My favorite would have to be Prince Myshkin from Dostoyevsky's The Idiot.

But other characters I like are Rogozhin (from the same novel), Rincewind (from Discworld), Arthur (from Hitchhiker's Guide), and Alfred (from The Death Gate Cycle).

 

Severus Snape from Harry Potter... and yes, Death too from the Discworld series.

 

Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment, Ford Prefect from the Guide, Dirk Struan from Gai-Jin, HST from his own novels, and many others.

 

Odysseus for showing the power of human inventiveness in both The Iliad and The Odyssey.
Jean Valjean for showing the rare quality known as charity and goodwill in the epic Les Miserables.
Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. I wouldn't fear crawling through the darkest part of Mordor with him by my side, or Detroit!

 

Wow alot more people then i thought have mentioned Disc world series chars..like Death..who is a very cool char...........i have not read many but which do you think i should read next....

 

Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird

 

Sherlock Holmes (from Conan Doyle's stories and hundreds of pastiches)

Marvin the Paranoid Anderoid (from Douglas Adams' "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and it's sequals)

Alberto Knox (from "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder)

 

well, one of the most enduring (if not endearing) characters is heinelin's lazarus long...

from one of his earliest novels _methuselah's children_ to _time enough for love_ and _the number of the beast_ and _the cat who walks through walls_ up to his final novel _to sail beyond the sunset_

of course, in the space of 2500 years or so, a fellow can get into a lot of, ummm, adventures...

 

Rand Al'Thor, but really any of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time characters, they're like family to me now
Yossarian - Catch 22
Alex - Clockwork Orange

 

Mines Alyosha Karamazov from the Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was uncanny reading about him because it was like reading about me.
