People who read a lot: Do you ever wish a character in a book was real...

....and you could hang out IRL? What fictional character would you like to hang out with?

I’ve got a few:
1 - Roz, Tony, and Charis from The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood.
2 - Wexford and Burden (and their wives, and Wexford’s daughters) from the Ruth Rendell books.
3 - DCI Alan Banks from the Peter Robinson books. (Actually, I’d like to date him. I get a little bit jealous of the women he dates. Except Annie. I liked her, so if they got back together, that would be cool.)
4 - DS Barbara Havers and DI Thomas Lynley from the Elizabeth George books.

When i used to read books i just used to wish there was more to read like more of the store and another book after about the story..

But as far as the people themselves being real.. there is probably someone like them in the real world somewhere

I was content with the books tho

@SStarfish I just finished a re-read of one of my favorite books (The Robber Bride; Atwood) - and I found out that years later, she wrote a short story about the same characters.

I got so excited, I scoured the Internet for that story, and found it’s in a collection of short stories she published in 2014.

So I bought the collection. That story will be my treat for after working today.
@SmartKat aww nice!! Congrats ☺️👍🏼
