Re: Favourite fictional character

I was going to say that in The Colour of magic he and the little tourist guy are sucked through a hole in space-time and become Swedish buisnessmen on a jet liner.

Re: Favourite fictional character

For me, it's either Holden Caulfield from "The Catcher in the Rye" or Nemesis the Warlock from 2000AD.

Jossarian from catch 22 is comedy at its best.

Are you screaming, Sage? Your extensive use of exclamation marks indicate so. 'Tis giving me quite a headache..

No, she's sqeauling....

Yossarion is great, Peter... just so funny. And C J Cherryh's Tristen... far less famous, but so sweet.

Re: Favourite fictional character

Isn't it Major (his position) Major (his first name) Major (his middlename) Major (his last name)? Not sure. He's hilarious, just hilarious. The ending though- don't you find that a bit, well, depressing? I mean, almost everyone dies. The thing about the soldier who saw everything twice, though... that just cracked me up.

Major Major Major Major.

The end is very sad. True. The whole book is very sad but filled with dark humour. What was the name of the character who kept crashing his plane on purpose, and who eventually rowed to Sweden? He was great.
