Catching up on Classics (and lots more!) discussion

There's this thing going around facebook where people pick three fictional characters who represent them. The unspoken rule is that they're always movie or TV characters. Too bad for me, because my three fictional characters are from books. Here they are:
Arthur Dent
Leonard Neeble
Whiskey Priest

How about you?

V I Warshawski, Rina Lazarus, and Eliza Sommers.

Fun! But can you say a bit about why Phil and Brina?

Here's mine off the top of my head:

While I'm usually as sensible as Elinor Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility) it's only from mastering my inner Catherine Earnshaw (Wuthering Heights). But some days, it must be said, I’m as silly and dreamy as Don Quixote himself . I blame the books.

Be glad to.
VI- because she is a Chicago detective who bleeds Chicago from her veins. I can not find anyone more Chicago than her except maybe me.
Rina- because she is an orthodox Jewish house maker and I'm convinced we'd be friends in real life.
Eliza- because I needed an Allende character and I love her independent spirit of adventure.

All mine are basically schlubs wandering around in search of meaning. I almost tacked on a character from Don Quixote, but I can't decide if I'm more like Quixote or Panza.

I really complimented myself here
Mary Anne Dominic - Flow my tears the policeman said - She is just this hard working normal person in a future overfilled with self indulgence and cruelty.

Isana - Codex Alera series - She is strong and protective to a detrimental extent. She lies to her son everyday to protect him. She lies and changes his features and ultimately cripples him. He suffered so harshly and when he finds out the truth, she is unapologetically honest.

Irene Reilly - Confederacy of Dunces Irene is so exasperated. She is completely responsible for her son. He is blissfully unaware of the problems he creates but she usually foots the bill. But ultimately she has to face his defaults and sacrifice his love.

You read the coolest books, Newly.

Yes!!! I had the same dilemna. TV/Movie characters flew out of my brain and literary characters were everywhere. My picks are:

Anne Elliot from Persuasion. She cares and loves deeply.

Skeeter Phelan from The Help. She is awkward and blunt and loves using words well.

Vicky Austin from A Ring of Endless Light. She is sensitive and thoughtful and shares my love for the ocean and her grandfather.

Jane from P&P Pride and Prejudice- she sees the best in everyone and is sweet and kind...
Anne Elliot from Persuasion is another one... I had like to be like them ..for these..

Elena from Angels' Blood , a mordern Paranormal romance series H . She is bold, strong, independent, straight talking, very loyal , very loving.... i had love to be like ger in these..

Hmmm....

Ginny from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.. I just love her.. she is sweet ,fierce and lovind and loyal

That's awful nice. Thanks

I'm super late to this game but it was fun to think about!

Without a doubt, Anne from Anne of Green Gables. I have a ridiculous imagination and I'm well known for flights of fancy and high emotions and (obviously) loving a good book. I was obsessed with Anne as a girl and recently bought myself the whole series for my birthday this year (thanks, Oma!).

Probably Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. I'm really quite an oddball. But also loyal and idealistic (but realistic, especially when it comes to a lack of friends and being teased) and a good friend and generally very caring.

This one is less flattering, but Nora Fischer from The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic. I'm stubborn and academic, but also lack faith in myself, I have low self-esteem (which, I mean, she clearly has) and I'm a sentimental romantic who is easily taken in by a good story that appeals to my sense of either sentiment or romance. Or both.
