Just starting the blog and this had been rattling around my brain as a fun way to start it out. Also it's definitely something that I would do.
It's always said that "life is stranger than fiction" and that is certainly true quite often; however, sometimes fiction contains extremely unique, intriguing, and memorable people.
Here is a list of the fictional characters that I consider as a favorite or find worthy of reflection on their brief but powerful "lives." They come from all realms of fiction from literature to television to film to plays. Identify them all and congratulations. You know me quite well or you cheated and used Google. Either way you learned something. For those friends of mine who correctly identify the work that each character is associated with you will receive a prize for your efforts.

So I'll bet you didn't think you'd hear from me on this. It was fun finding the stuff out. Although I must admit that I knew only about 7 of these and used Google and Wikipedia to find the others.
Let me know how I did.
