Book Meme: Day 1
Oct. 1st, 2011 02:38 amI wanted to find a book meme, and I found something even better: a 30-day book meme! Anyone up for doing this one with me?
( 30 Day Book Meme )
Day 1 - A fictional character you identify with and why.
This answer changes with every other book you read, so I'd say that right now, the answer is Linda Downey from The Heir Chronicles by Cinda Williams Chima. It's kind of a strange answer for me to give, because the initial reason I identified with her occurred at the very beginning of the first book when she was being extremely protective of a baby of all things.
As it turns out, she's extremely protective of her family and beliefs throughout the books, to a literal fault, and I think that's what I picked up on. There's also her secretive attitude and independence, for the safety of and to the exclusion of all others - again, to a fault. The parallel: I have a tendency to protect my family, friends, and beliefs, even sometimes to my own detriment. I mostly don't mention things that really bother me, even when people ask, because I believe I should deal with them on my own, it's easier to be silent, and I don't want to burden others.
Also, Linda Downey is just super hardcore awesome. I wish I was that awesome!
