OK, this is a two-part query, and might draw some fun and interesting answers. (Since I'm new to this board, someone may have done this before; in that case, sorry about that.) First, which literary character do you most identify with? And second, if you could, which literary character would you most like to be? Tell us a little about the reasons for your choices. I'll get the ball rolling. I most identify with John Yossarian in Joseph Heller's "Catch-22", who is trying to cope with a world and personal situation fraught with black humor, loss, and an endless series of absurdities. I also share his cheeky contempt for authority. The answer to the second part would be my namesake from Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". He exemplifies the kind of decency, kindness, idealism, and stability that I wish I had a lot more of myself. Any other takers? Atticus
