If you could be....
 

any literary figure who would you be and why?

Rob Roy - A man of dignity who would not compromise his principles to avoid personal hardships. According to the movie anyway, ha ha.

Lilith,

Winston Churchill, as his literary life was only part of a larger one.

Hugh Hefner is a literary figure of sorts----70, popping viagra like pez, and dating triplets and 2 sets of twins....

I am half the man he is....35, popping pez like viagra, and my wife is a twin...lol

LMFAO@mcjim623!

*damn!!!......that nick is hard to type......but don't fret....I suck at typing and yet....I'll get used to it.....I promise!*

Cleopatra............omitting the crocodile dung and asp thing......YIKES! I like alligators and much larger snakes! *blink, blink*

Leif Erickson- I could go back and tell them Newfoundland wasn’t there and give us all a brake.;)

Either Groucho Marx who said,"I shot an elephant in my Pajamas.How he got in them,I'll never know." or John Lennon who when asked how he found America,quipped..... "Turned left at Geenland." I guess you could say that I have a Marxist-Lennonist sense of humour..heh heh heh

Samuel Clements, his writings have made people smile and laugh for generations. Laughter is the best medicine.

A man after my heart! Great choice!

*hands BB her heart!*

Gonna hold on to this for awhile Lixy. I'll guard it close too.
Seein' as how you've took mine LOL

Hi Lil

I'm not sure what your question meant. Someone who was literary or some character from literature?

If the first then : Lord Byron - Love his work and his lifestyle, he crammed so much into such a short time.

If the second then : The Highwayman in the poem of the same name by Alfred Noyes

Yeah Glyndwr - I was confused too! (I know, I know...that's not difficult!)

So..... if you meant what writer would I choose to be:

Vladimir Nabokov - just so that I could take the credit for writing "Lolita" and be fluent in about a zillion languages. Oh and, yeah, it would be kind of fun to try out being a guy for a while!

If you meant what literary character:
Probably Cinderella. The idea that being a good person will eventually pay off and the whole metamorphosis thing really does it for me. Just for one night to be the woman that makes everyone turn their heads and gasp is a fantasy of mine....

I suspect Lil was in a LXG phase when she asked this.

Moriarty, 'cos he had so much fun being evil.

Scarlet pimpernel's wife! mmmmmmm

Too easy....King Frederick Richard Hollenzollern II of Prussia.
1712-to-1786

In his time he was known as Frederick the Great, for having won the Seven Years war 1756-to-1763 defeating Austria/Hungry, Russia, Sweden, and the Holy Roman Empire. But aside from the terror he struck in the European courts, he was one of the best writers of his age. Many of his works are of a political and military nature, but he contributed to philisophy, and art. Perhaps the most educated rule of his time.

Neal Cassady

not only was he one of the main figure in Kerouac's On The Road and in many other of his books he is also in Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

he ran around with some of the greatest literary minds of his time not only Kerouac, Burroughs, and Ginsgerg he later ran around with Ken Kesey and the merry pranksters

Sorry guys I should have been clearer. I was on my way out the door when I posted it. I am however glad I wasn't because even though I meant any character that appears in a work of literature, I find the answers about which authors you would choose to be equally as interesting!

hmmmmmmmm literary character i wud like to be huh ? well that wud prob have to be anita blake out of Laurell K Hamilton's vampire hunter series, bc shes a strong woman (entaly and phyically) shes pretty kicks major ass and has lots of pervy sex w awsome men!
