Booked by 3 - In character.

Ok...

The March Hare, of Keeper of The Mad Tea Party memed me again...
(I don't mind her memes, I kinda like them. They force me to think... Like this one from last August...)

So... The theme of the meme... Booked by 3...

Name up to three characters . . .

1) . . . you wish were real so you could meet them.

Lazarus Long (Heinlein's Methuselah's Children, Time Enough for Love et al)
Beowulf Schaffer (Larry Niven's Known Space Series)
Travis McGee (John D. MacDonald's South Florida gumshoe)

2) . . . you would like to be.

Jason Bourne - (Robert Ludlum's Bourne series)
John Carter - (Edgar Rice Burroughs Warlord of Mars series)
Dirk Struan - (James Clavell's Tai Pan)

3) . . . who scare you.

Annie Wilkes. (Stephen King's Misery)
Dimitri Ravenoff (Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash)
The guy has an h-bomb attached to his motorcycle and makes Kevlar-piercing knives out of glass. Hijacked a nuclear sub singlehanded. One Scary Dude.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Thomas Harris' Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, et al)

Limiting choices to three is a difficulty.
Makes me really evaluate choices carefully...and still second guess my selections.

Oh well...

Happy reading.

Oh yeah-
I'm tagging Deidre at Time & Tides and James at Sarchasmic Hallucidations.
I'll try Yael at The World is MY Oyster, althought I know she is in transition now...moving from China to Germany. (Talk about culture shock!)

TBG- Packing my bags again.

BTW-
My current read: South-The Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition 1914-1917 by Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton

ShellyS said...: I'm glad you tracked down my blog so I could read your answers. Hannibal Lector seems a popular choice for scary. I've never read the books he's in, so he doesn't scare me. heh

Anyway, I post Booked by 3 questions once a month (I try to do that in the first week or so), so pop in for another go 'round.; 8:17 PM, April 21, 2007

March Hare said...: I like your choices! (I knew I would...) I thought about being Deja Thoris (spelling?), but I only know of her through Heinlein, so I don't know if I'd like the original character.

BTW, where did you find that Tim Burton version of the Mad Tea Party? Too cool! (Don't know how I missed it the first time...)

Exercise Your 2nd Amendment Rights

Do you have a firearm that you have purchased for home protection, but are not comfortable with your ability to safely maintain, load and fire it?
Uncle Jay would be glad to help.
If you've never shot a firearm or would like an introduction into shooting sports, just let me know. I can arrange range time and can give you practical assistance in learning about guns, or help you with your personal protection firearm.

Always remember the 5 rules:

1. Always treat a firearms as if it is loaded.
2. Never point a firearm at anyone or anything that you do not intend to kill or destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
4. Know your target and what is beyond the target.
5. Don't be a dick.

You can violate one of the rules and you might survive; If you break two of the rules, someone could be hurt or killed.
Violate the 5th rule and the person hurt or killed will probably be you.
Always remember: You are personally responsible for anything that happens while a gun is in your hands.

Listen 2 Uncle Jay
