You're right, he's pretty terrible!<br /><br />@Gabe - I went through the same struggle with graphic novels, but I enjoy them too much to care anymore! At least your friends are reading, even if it is only manga, it could be worse, they could be like my friends who only read the readings necessary for uni!<br /><br />@DJL - Whenever I think of Reynaud all I can think of is the in the movie adaptation when he goes mental in the shop window eating all the chocolate! He was a jerk though, I'd completly forgotten about him!<br /><br />@twobibliomaniacs - Thanks!! <br /><br />@Birdie - Lol, that's always my biggest problem when I read blogs in public! I think i'm getting a reputation around the uni as the crazy girl who laughs at computer screensAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-31848215285104642472011-05-11T09:02:06.802+10:002011-05-11T09:02:06.802+10:00These are some good choices.

I know they are but I have WAY too many friends who read nothing but manga (literally; they won't even pick up a book that doesn't have pictures in it) so I've had sort of a bad relationship with the genre. I'll get over it someday.gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-71394942709402827872011-05-11T02:52:15.897+10:002011-05-11T02:52:15.897+10:00I completely forgot about Cormac.

As for Harry Potter characters, I went with Percy because he basically throws his family under the bus just so she can get higher in the Ministry of Magic.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-50513388238618605242011-05-11T02:42:50.580+10:002011-05-11T02:42:50.580+10:00I have Holden Caufield on my list too.
