Gone with the Wind is one of my mom's favorite books. I read Mary Higgins Clark books and I find her main characters are always very likable and interesting. I like the Harry Potter characters too. I also love Alice from Alice in Wonderland.:)

LOL...who are you calling sick?! I only recently read them. I had never paid attention to the hype following them until a friend of my husband sent them for me to read. They were pretty good and it honestly surprised me. I won't be dressing up as Harry at any bookstores though.:)

now about gone with the wind and scarlet o'hara... hmmmmmm... I have rather a big personal problem with her... I wont read it out of a principle:D... I hate her from the movies... I was obligated, in some bad conjuncture, to watch way to much movies based on the book... i prefer other kinds of books:)

I usually prefer books to the movies too. The books always have so much more detail and depth.

I love so many of the characters I have read of over the years. But, if I had to choose just one, I think it would have to be Ayla. From the Earth's Children series by Jean Auel. Such a strong woman character. She's force to really grow up fast, and it's great to feel the childlike wonderment shen she learns new things and can act young again.

It is Atlas Shrugged and The fountainhead, as for character it the author I admire (Ayan Rand) for surely her characters reflect her personality.
