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.

Most of what I read is non-fiction so I don’t have that problem. Right now I’m reading One Mans Wilderness by this guy named Dick Proenneke. He basically went out into the wilds of Alaska and built a home for himself just using the natural resources he encountered, with his bare hands and simple tools. Lived off the land out there for 30 years on his own. Awesome book

@DrawntoaDistance He sounds admirable, but I don’t think he and I would have much in common. 😂
