My absolute all-time favorite character from any book: Captain Yossarian from 'Catch-22' (Joseph Heller)
Some other greats:
Winston Smith, '1984' (George Orwell)
Lola Hart, 'Random Acts of Senseless Violence' (Jack Womack)
Eliot Rosewater, 'God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater' (Kurt Vonnegut)
Many others I can't really think of right now...

I like Anne (from Anne of green gables; and of course Gilbert). Anybody from Austen, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Dickens, etc.

Can't forget Lord Peter

The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, "So, you're back from Moscow, eh?". Interested in C.S. Lewis?
