As for Laura Ingalls, I think I only read a few of them. How sad!

My favorite childhood character was Louie from Ann Rice's Interview with the Vampire. Seriously, I kid you not.<br />I was 7 yo when I saw the movie at the cinema (yeah, I'm thinking probably it wasn't age appropriate but I was a very, very mature kid since the very beginning, lol). And I just fell in love with Louie, I had my parents rent me the movie and I think I saw it like probably 30 times in the following years. The book was really hard to come by around those times, it took me years to get a copy of it.<br /><br />What I loved about him was he was a vampire, but he also had feelings, compassion, and took matters in his own hands. He was also extremely beautiful, because Brad Pitt is freaking amazing and with those bright green eyes and the beautiful nails and all...I just loved him. Yeah, but Louie was absolute favorite for years. And I was a big fan of the chemistry he had with other vampires like Lestat and Armand, though I was too young to put a name to what was what and what sort of chemistry they had, you know? But it was sort of dark, and definitely fascinating. That's when I fell in love with paranormal, really, and I've loved it ever since.<br /><br />My next favorite character ever was, well, Death, from Meet Joe Black. He still is one of my favorite characters ever. My tendency to love dark characters is a life-long thing xDDD<br /><br />There were also book characters I loved, but we're talking books written by authors from my country so I'm fairly certain you guys don't know about them. But my favorites were always the cunning characters, the sort of dark, often the villains. Like if it was a Prince Charming and Dragon (antagonist) in a story, I always liked the Dragon more, haha. I dunno why, they were always more interesting to me. All mysterious and different...Myeah. :DLivia @ Butterfly-o-Meter Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900492244197943143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-31960550070236217452012-04-26T16:24:21.009-05:002012-04-26T16:24:21.009-05:00Hello Alex
