I liked Arithon and Elaira from the Wars of Light and Shadow. Jimmy the hand was good, but I reckon he was only good in the first three books (magician, silverthorn and darkness of sethanon). After that Jimmy became urm'ish. :)
I didnt mind Jimmy in the Krondor series.

I dunno, I hated the Empire series and only managed to get to halfway through the second book. I guess I was looking for some Raymond Feist when I read it, but he had just gotten divorced at the time of writing and was being totally pussy-whipped by Janny Wurts so she could get some dosh. Well, thats what I think. Either way, I dont like it.

The stuff he has brought out lately has been pretty good. I really liked Honoured Enemy and the Conclave of Shadows (so far) and Murder in LaMut wasnt bad. He hasnt managed to top Magician though. That book was fkn incredible.

I thought she actually seemed more respectable in the film than in the book.

Forgot another of my favourite comedic characters;
-Marvin The Paranoid Android.
Besides being an inspiration to Radiohead, his excessively maudlin, self-pitying antics remain consistently hillarious throughout The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

'Oh, the Paranoid Android,' he said. 'Yeah, we'll take him.'
'But what are you supposed to do with a manically depressed robot?'
'You think you've got problems,' said Marvin as if he was addressing a newly occupied coffin, 'what are you going to do if you are a manically depressed robot?


And for someone completely different; Macbeth. Someone who can utter solioquies as brilliant (if nihilistic) as;

She should have died hereafter,
There would have been time for such a word,
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way
to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and departs. It is a tale, told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury, signifiying nothing.


deserves respect.

On second thoughts, this seems too outrageous for a truly great character :p

As an alternative Salvor Hardin from Asimov's original Foundation was a particularly well developed character, despite the fact that he remained for only 100 pages of the series.

You serious? I actually loved the empire series. After the original 3 (magician, silverthorn and sethanon), I thought the empire series were the best. hehe, i dunno, I guess I like intrugue. :)

Honoured enemy and murder in Lamut were good (quite good :) ), but I didnt really like Talon of the Silverhawk (is that what it was called?). Humph

What about Simkin? Margaret Weis darksword trilogy. lol, so funny. :)

I don't think there's any character I'd want to be, but there a few who I really like...
Probably... Dameon from Isobelle Carmody's Obernewtyn Chronicles.
wow... another obernewtyn fan?... have you all the books so far?.. its just that not many of my friends are fans of the series so i have no one to talk to about it!hey.. the last book in the series so far is the keeping place rite?....
