I am currently blogging about my personal reading challenge to read my way through every country in the world (230 countries!) but am also writing about other bookish topics as well. Off the top of my head, I particularly have disliked Briony Tallis in Atonement and Mr Wickham and Kitty in Pride and Prejudice, Cathy Ames in East of Eden, Tom Ripley in The Talented Mr Ripley...I'll try to think of some others!The Literary Nomadhttp://www.theliterarynomad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-26459422042501555892010-08-11T10:22:14.693-04:002010-08-11T10:22:14.693-04:00Great idea.

I have read it 3 times, all for school, and each time I think I hate him more. He has no real conscience, as far as I'm concerned. It is more his treatment of his creation afterward, and his complete unwillingness to think of anyone but himself, that makes me hate him so much. Not that he focuses entirely on one thing and blocks everything else out; that's only a small part of the book to me.<br /><br />As for Bella... I still think she's spineless and irritating. Being fiction is no excuse, and I didn't think she had many layers at all. That's just me though! We could argue about this all day haha.Tahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-65012899292899635222010-08-10T10:33:12.315-04:002010-08-10T10:33:12.315-04:00Interesting post!

Aw..I think you're a tad too hard on the good (okay not that good) doctor considering the time period his "advancements" were set in, he didn't do too bad...<br />3. Yeah, um same deal. He was lost on a desert island, can't really fault him for not having all his faculties in working order.<br />6. Totally there with you.<br />7. GASP! *faints* ^recovers^ Not all books are to create a role model for readers. For some (heck, most) it's about the STORY. It's fiction after all. And really, as a character she's not so bad. She has her faults (human, yep...just like us), her passions, her desires....but alas, you can't convert a non-fan to a fan, so I shall respect your opinion, just not agree with it. ^_^<br />Okay, after my wordy fest there, I'd really have to think about which characters irk me enough to make a list like this....but it was certainly fun checking out your picks!
