Lolita put 2 names in the top 20 and James T. Kirk and Darth Vader don’t make the list. I don’t think I’d fit in too well with the people who put this list together. Heck Sherlock Holmes was the only one in the top 10 i found memorable.
What about Chewbacca? I hear he’s big with the literati.
I wouldn’t fit in either.
Luke Skywalker tops my list- so many reasons! No Vader,astounding!
But if they’re dismissing ‘fiction’ that became films, I’ll go with Willard Phule of the Phule’s Company books, and Slartibartfast from Hitchhikers Guide. Just for how the name sounds alone! lol. The depressed robot was a riot too.
