If you're looking at book sales, it would be Harry Potter. Like the writing or not, those books flew off the shelves once the marketing reach outside the UK.
If you're looking to cause a shitstorm, choose a major religious figure with >billion fanboys. If you're looking for the greatest, it is Hamlet. |

Gus McCrea http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d149/J_Rose_/lonesomedove.jpg (... as played by Robert Duvall in the miniseries of Lonesome Dove) I agree here. Duvall was perfect in that role. Another one I like is Major Joseph Makatozi (Joe Mack). Anyone else read that book? |

Huckleberry Finn - FTMFW (and that rhymes if you say all the words) - the whole purpose of Tom Sawyer was to introduce the character of Huck Finn. Huckleberry Finn, is considered by many, even Ernest Hemingway, to be the greatest American novel. |

Ulysses/Odysseus Greek Mythology. Known for his intelligence and his return home after his travels including that to the Underworld. Also, Trojan Horse is well known. "Beggar though I am, I was a soldier once: And there still may yet be some strength in these arms of mine." This, or Robin Hood.....

Quoted: Edmond Dantes, the Count of Monte Cristo. Yeah, that was gonna be my nomination. I'd also say Elizabeth Bennett, as a defined character she's about as good as I've read....of course 1/100th of ARFcom knows who that is. |
