I say this only as a compliment, but my dearest friend reminds me of Auntie Mame, from Patrick Dennis' book.

I have a friend who reminds me of "Puzzle" in "The Last Battle". Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, trusting, loyal, devoted to his friends. But we all love him. Unfortunately, I know many people who remind me of the characters in C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce". I hope that I don't remind anyone of any of those characters.

My husband is a lot like a hobbit, he is very fond of his home life and his things and his routines. He enjoys gardening and would never profess to having adventures.

I met someone who could have been the model for "Griffin" in Nick Bantock's Griffin and Sabine's Extraordinary Correspondence and his following 2 books. He was an artist, like Griffin, only he worked in a different medium. Oddly enough, he thought I was much like "Sabine" and that is where my screen name came from.

Mr. Earl in Hour Before Daylight reminded me of my late grandfather.

I can't remember if I know someone who reminds me of a character. But often, when I'm reading a book, I see the character as some particular actor I've seen in a movie or on TV. I usually wonder if the author has purposely designed that book character after the actor.

A young neighbor boy looks just like Harry Potter. The fact that he knows every character and every plot of all 4 "Harry Potter" books only adds to his remarkable resemblance.

Just before Christmas we adopted a little white kitten. We named her Kinsey after Kinsey Milhone of the Sue Grafton books. She is VERY well named! She is constantly exploring, discovering and is definitely an "in your face" kitten!

I recently enjoyed the movie Bridget Jones Diary. I was impelled to get the Helen Fielding book. While reading Bridget, I, myself was identifying with her "irrational" thoughts of her body, her mate status, her work situation and all other thought-material. Not only do I think I, personally, identified with her, but I think that MANY women can read those diary excerpts and laugh because WE DO have irrational thoughts on a daily basis. In no way, do I think these thoughts are wholly negative. On the contrary, I think our thoughts are quite entertaining and serve an emotional purpose. Obviously, Fielding agrees and has written an incredible book for every woman to relate. I am now happily reading Bridget Jones Diary: Edge of Reason. This is Fielding's book two on the life of Bridget.
