Scarlett

Who would you be and why?<BR>Any book/classic or comic.Just a thought for fun~

Count

The Count of Monte Cristo.I like the idea of having limitless amounts of money,living in beautiful locales and the idea of revenge isn't so bad either.Although getting out of the prison would not be too much fun, the part that comes after should make up for it.

Amber St. Claire from "Forever Amber" by Kathleen Windsor. I read this book when I was a teenager. It takes place in England around the time of the Great Plague. Full of romance and adventure. In fact, I think I will read it again before my trip to London in May!

c

Betty! I was just thinking of that book!I read it when a teen, lust and love and all that, loved it then, I think I will read it again~<BR>I think it would be fun to be anyone in the "Miss Marple" Agatha Christie novels,I want to be a villager in England.Eccentric,charming,and lots of mysteries to be solved.Much more interesting than Feb in the northeast!c

James Bond. Don't even need to explain this one. Sherlock Holmes wouldn't be bad either. I think I have a little bit of detective in me.

doc

Dan-Watson would be fun also-working without the drugs

Cleopatra

-<BR>Xena, princess warrior. Or, that kick-butt chick on new TV series, 'Alias'. I know, not a person in a book -- expanding on Scarlett's fantasy them.

m

If we are being strong women-how about -Kinsey Millhone-the detective in the Sue Grafton alphabet series? She is cool and always "gets her man".

vicki

I've always admired Lizzy Bennet from Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice". She is smart, funny and seems to always get what she wants.

kate

Aaaaahhh Jane Austen..Emma would be fun, light hearted, good hearted and got her man! THat is a good one..I think.

Oooh, Katie Scarlett, what a great thread!! <BR><BR>Hmmm - I want to be a comic book character - Dream's (Morpheus) sister Death from the Sandman comic book (or the newer Vertigo comic - Death?) by Mr. Neil Gaiman. She's just so Goth and cool. Very wry character.<BR><BR>Or speaking of gothic characters, how about Catherine from Wuthering Heights who wanders the moors in the hereafter searching for her Heathcliff, scratching on windowpanes to get his visitors' attention. Ooohhh!!<BR><BR>Cleopatra, I like your answer! Or how about Lola in Run Lola Run - the Alias chick reminds me of her sometimes.

Cleopatra

Girl, Lola wore me out ! Similarly, I get a workout from watching Jennifer Garner smack those boys around.

Scarlett

MaryC, I am charmed and appreciate your kind words~<BR>I think you would make an excellent Lola~ <BR>Thank you all for the very interesting and funny replies..<BR>to the top,ya'll

j

Harry Potter or one of his friends.

Lucy Honeychurch from E.M. Forster's: Room With A View----sigh... In my next life I want to go back in time and grow up in a big English manor house with a charming mother and brother and a vicar who comes bicycling up for tea in the afternoon with his niece, Minny. I'd like to play Beethoven on the piano with ease and wear lovely lacey dresses. Somebody stop me..... <BR><BR>

Sue

Betty, I loved Forever Amber, too--but as I recall it had a bummer ending (like Gone with the Wind). It used to make me mad to get all the way to the end and discover that it wasn't an end at all (kinda like life).<BR><BR>I always wanted to be the Incredible Hulk, especially when I taught in junior high. Talk about revenge!

dan woodlief

Just read that book last week r. I don't want to be a character in it, but it was a good one. It made me want to return to Italy.

bonnie

Lord Peter Wimsey without a doubt, even tho I'm a girl in this life. Well, maybe I could be Harriet Vane.

Dan

Dirk Pitt! From the Clive Cussler novels--lots of adventure.
