    David Copperfield; square I

    I just loved that character.

    And Daneel Olivaw; I was a big Asimov fan.

    Because I love murder mystery detective stories my favourite is Sherlock Holmes living at the famous 221B Baker street flat with Watson until the latter got married. I also like so much the Victorian age setting of the stories.

    Gosh! It is so hard to pick just one. Its narrowed down now to:

    • John Carter of Mars
    • Tarzan of the Apes
    • Sherlock Holmes
    • Podkayne of Mars
    • Gandalf
    • Gollum
    • Bilbo Baggins
    • R. Daneel Olivaw
    • Nathan Brazil
    • Rex the Robot (The Runaway Robot)

    So many of them influenced my life.

    But the greatest influence would have to have been Valentine Michael Smith (Stranger in a Strange Land). He made me question the very foundations of my faith. Sci-fi is such a great genre, because it leads to so much questioning. Questioning leads to self awareness. Self awareness leads to freedom.

    OMG! Yes! I read that a few years ago and understood immediately how that book could have spawned entire religious movements.

    Daystar;

    The character Karl in Michael Moorcock's Behold the Man was rather thought provoking also in the same kind of way.

    Yes, I liked that one too. It's been a while since I've read it.

    Heh heh... Karl died for our sins...

    I always liked Atticus Finch, Samwise Gamgee, Cyrano DeBergerac, Kira Argon-something or another (from We The Living), One of the main rabbits- I can't remember his name- from Watership Down...

    All I can think of right now...
