fellow readers, thanks so much for all the intriguing comments! Now I'm thinking about all the characters I'd love to meet in real life...Rhett Butler, of course, Cadfael, and Sherlock! Fresh fiction, thanks for hosting me. This was great!
what great comments about how 'real' fictional characters can begin to feel. I used to (still do!) hang out at the library and think of all those people and in all those books, and want to get to know them all. thanks for letting me visit and chat!
