Meme, from bossymarmalade:

List three characters from ten favourite books, then have people guess what the books are! (all first names, for consistency)

(1) Kenneth / Faith / Walter
(2) Sue / Agnes / Maud
(3) Mary / Maria / Henry
(4) Elizabeth / Justine / Victor
(5) Laura / Alex / Winifred
(6) Gradus / Sybil / Charles Xavier
(7) Lane / Buddy / Bessie
(8) Belle / Trix / Arthur
(9) Ted / Richard / Eddie
(10) Julia / Rex / Anthony

Note: In one (rather obvious) case, I (obviously) did not list the first name, as I would have had to look it up in the book to make sure I remember it right. But I think maybe possibly we'll all survive this glaring INCONSISTENCY. You may, however, now make remarks about how I don't remember the names of the characters in books I claim are among my "favourites". - Also, some of these characters = characters for certain values of x.

...I really want to play, but I don't recognize *any* of these. /o\

hee, you know, when I looked at this afterwards, I realized I'd ttly and categorically LEFT OUT ALL THE MAIN PROTAGONISTS. Whut? (Except for the cases a) where I didn't leave them out as apparently I couldn't remember anyone else's first names (#2, #6), b) where their names = the title of the book (#7, also somewhat #1), c) where the major character emphatically not listed has no name (#4), in which it maybe makes some sense? How did I overlook them in the others (#1, Rilla; #3, Fanny; #5, Iris, #8, Polly; #9, Sylvia; #10, Charles, Sebastian)? I fail at meme! a little. But I liked the meme when others did it?) - That, and also many of these are sort of of the if-you've-happened-to-read-them type of book, maybe, as opposed to everyone-knows-the-characters-at-least-by-cultural-immersion type. muh.

I'm a passing stranger, but really happy you included RoI and BR. :-)

They're both awesome books! ... in their special ways. :D
