I personally love Drizzt Do'Urden from R. A. Salvatore's books. Salvatore has given this character so much depth. Plus I have loved this character since high school and the Icewind Dale Trilogy many, many years ago.
I also love Corran Horn from the New Jedi Order series.
I also love Rachel Morgan from Kim Harrison's the Hollow series.
I used to love Anita Blake, but feel Laurell K. Hamilton went to far with the sex in the books and don't get me wrong I love a good erotic romance. She finally got the writing back on track and Anita back to what she does best which is kicking *kitten* in this last book.
Also Harry Dresden from the Dresden files. Jim Butcher just brings him to life.

Picking a favorite is always tough!
Harry Dresden is really high up there. Butcher did an excellent job developing his character, especially through the later books.
I would have to say that my favorite is Agent Aloysius Pendergast in the Preston/Child novels. He's just awesome with his super intelligence, Sherlockian tendencies, and the fact that he has an evil, criminally insane younger brother just makes him more interesting!0 -
Harry Dresden's pretty high up there.
I also love Tiffany Aching and Granny Weatherwax from the Discworld books.
And Susie Shooter from the Nightside books by Simon R. Green.0 -
I'd have to say Harry Dresden. If you guys like the Dresden Files series check out the Nightside series by Simon Green. John Taylor is a lot like Dresden and I thoroughly enjoy those books as well.0

I came here to say Harry Dresden, but it seems I'm just stacking another on the pile.
Arthur Dent would be a good 2nd vote.0 -

My addiction to the Pendergast books was probably the best thing that I got from my ex.0 -
For those liking Harry Dresden/John Taylor, try the Alex Verus novels by Benedict Jacka, they're in the same sort of line & very enjoyable.
Personal favourite characters of mine include:
Raine Benares from the assorted books by Lisa Sherin (Magic Lost, Trouble Found being the 1st in the series).
Sir Sparhawk from the Elenium & Tamuli series by David Eddings
Marvin the paranoid android (Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams).
Hawk & Fisher, from the assorted Haven books by Simon R Green.0 -
I am a big fan of Lazarus Long from all of the really smutty Heinlein books because he is just too ridiculous to believe.
Also, I like Pippin in Lord of the Rings. Even though I am totally a Merry.0 -

There is no way I can decide on just one, so here is the current list as it stands:
Silk/Prince Kheldar, Velvet/Margravine Liselle, Polgara, Belgarath, Beldin (David Eddings Belgarion stuff)
Nanny Ogg and Lady Sybil Ramkin/Vimes
Basically the entire American Pack (plus Karl Marsten and Hope Adams), Jaime Vegas, Eve Levine, Adam Vasic
Molly Millions/Sally Shears
Mr Nancy, Shadow
There are so many more but I just can't think of them.0 -
Wow..I opened this post to respond with someone I have already forgotten, and got loads of new recommends! Although.. I need more books like a hole in the head. I am already tiptoeing around teetering piles of books--looks like I'll have to start cleaning out the kitchen cabinets and start chucking stuff out to make room!
Thanks everyone!0
