    Tuff one indeed it was really hard to narrow it down but if I MUST choose one character... It's one character in the following six novels.

    Fantasy
    Dragon Lance: Chronicles series and Legends series. ~ Raistlin

    Blood Meridian, by Cormac MacCarthy.

    Character: Judge Holden
    Description: Enormous and hairless, a brutal killer, philosopher, god-like, but very much mortal. The epitome of extreme violence that inhabits a part of every man's soul.

    I am intrigued.....

    It's been named to many "Best of" lists. McCarthy (sorry, misspelled in my original post) is arguably the best living American writer. Blood Meridian is, in my opinion, his best but also probably his darkest work (and he specializes in very dark novels).

    If you're a reader, and haven't yet tried anything by McCarthy, I would start with All the Pretty Horses. Don't let the title fool you, it's very much an adult book. The prose is amazing.

    After that, Blood Meridian. But again, it's an incredibly dark and violent work. It's doesn't white wash life in the western US in the 19th century, where the law was de facto unenforceable and there existed few limits on excess, other than the tenuous morality that exists within all of us. But a man's morale absolutes can also be his weaknesses. Ya know what I'm sayin'?

    --P


    Ah, he also wrote Ho Country for Old Men - Nice! Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely read one of his!

    However, currently my favorite character from a book is Charley Davidson....she cracks me up. She can be found in the Darynda Jones books...

    I was almost gonna go with this one, but I'm gonna have to go with Hannibal Lecter from the Thomas Harris novels.

    Michael Flynn in Cara McKenna's WIlling Victim.

    Yeah, I read politically incorrect smut...

    I would KILL to meet a man like him in real life.

    Move over, Christian Grey!

    Probably Wednesday from American Gods.
    If we're including comic books I'd have to say The Joker from Batman. Along with Harley Quinn they're my Bella and Edward! :P
