This was a lot easier for me and I have a few…. (1) Don Tillman from ‘The Rosie Project’ (2) Gus McCrae from ‘Lonesome Dove’ (3) Will McLean from ‘The Lords of Discipline’ (4) Count Alexander Rostov from ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’ & (5) Mr Knightly from Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’ ?
1. Edmond Dantes from the Count of Monte Cristo. 2. Don Quixote 3. Jack Pencroft from The Mysterious Island 4. Al’Lan Mandragoran from the Wheel of Time
@Sean I have both read and listened to the audio books of both these books and the narrator does a great job on both books.. I specifically like the job he did narrating Pencroft.
@Carolina Have you watched this BBC Adaptation of Emma, my favourite (Johnny Lee Miller & Romola Garai) – we are reading Emma next month in our Jane Austen Book Club. (Will be my third time reading it!)
Prince Hal/Henry V from Shakespeare, Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility, James Bond (do we consider Ian Flemming a classic? because I do!), Jeeves from Wodehouse’s stories, Faramir from LOTR. And another favourite is Soames Forsyte – I absolutely hate the man and his actions, but I can’t deny that as a character with hundreds of issues he makes for a captivating read and gives much to think about.
1. Odysseus of Homer; 2. Colonel Brandon from “Sense and Sensibility”; 3. Heathcliff from “Wuthering Heights”; 4. Ben from “Look homeward, Angel” and Ishmael Chambers from “Snow falling on Cedars” 🙂
Too many to name but here’s a few that I remember: 1 – Mr Darcy (Pride & Prejudice) 2 – Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird) 3 – Count Vronsky (Anna Karenina) 4 – Inman (Cold Mountain) 5 – Jamie Fraser (Outlander) ♥️
