I didnt care much for Leonard Marnham, though I loved THE INNOCENT so much.<br />he's just not sensitive enough and the protagonist lady deserves someone better!<br /><br />One of my top 5 all-time fave novels is THE END OF THE AFFAIR. that novel captures so much the bittersweet longing and pain of loving someone deeply. and it's perfect to read on a dark dreary rainy night in some sad cafe in the city.<br /><br />Isabel Archer is totally amazing! <br /><br />my fave characters? Charlotte Bronte's JANE EYRE for being so level-headed and cool and expressive and yet in touch with her emotions and instincts....<br /><br />CLAUDINE in the Claudine novels of Collette for being sassy, spirited, spunky, gutsy, sensitive, passionate, and always true to herself, her inanities and proclivities.... <br /><br /><br />the narrAtor in SANDRA CISNEROS' the House in Mango Street.... for being so real, so emotive, vibrant, brave and deep....and tender and joyous sometimes in a world that's both insane, hurtful and wonderful at the same time<br /><br />the protagonist in HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY by Richard Llewellyn.... for being so strong and yet weak, beautiful and daring, long-suffering and valiant, through all the hardships and joys he's been through....<br /><br />and most of all that boy (the little brother of the soldier ) in THE HUMAN COMEDY BY WILLIAM SAROYAN.... for his curiosity and zest for life, and because I have seen that life's heartbreaks didn't destroy him.Miss Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806640305749683922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-75834328456032218572009-08-06T20:47:55.600+08:002009-08-06T20:47:55.600+08:00Hello, Blooey!

Hey, I'm moderating the Perfume discussion in September, hope you can go there!<br /><br />Top of mind, I like Matilda Wormwood from Roald Dahl's Matilda - I can totally relate to her love for reading<br /><br />There's also Thursday Next, the heroine of Jasper Fforde's Jurisfiction books. I love her job and I love their world and she has such great sense of humor and can kick literary butts too.sumthinbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232269685025586480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-15783899459328016212009-08-05T13:35:02.705+08:002009-08-05T13:35:02.705+08:00How can I forget Grenouille of Perfume, the novel ...How can I forget Grenouille of Perfume, the novel by Patrick Süskind.
