I do. My universal hero is Aureliano Buendia (the book "100 years of Solitude").

i do not usually associate myself with anybody... i only notice some features of character that are common with mine) but it is impossible to find the same character in the hero :)

by the way, where do you usually find books for reading? do you know where to find good e-books?

As for me, somebody usually tells me about any book which is worth to read.

Roxana_Siren, do you usually buy them?

Have_nothing, no, I don't. My friends often give them. But sometimes I buy a book.

Shame on me, but never actually managed the book :( The one about the Colonel was the only one of the author...

Nad_Gamgee, it's OK.

Исходное сообщение Have_nothing: by the way, where do you usually find books for reading? do you know where to find good e-books?

Yep, it's usually about friends' advice. And I borrow books from them. I only buy books on the topics I'm crazy about.

Hi!
As for me I can't say I associate myself with any hero, but I like to imagine whether I can be such a hero. Of cause some characters have many features that I have, but...
Oops, I hope I didn't interupt you... And I'll be allowed to join you...

may be it's strange, but my friends didn't have such interesting books and i have to buy them. But the other problem is that in our town it's almost impossible to find something very interesting! and so often i try to find in the internet, but for this i must know what to read. May be you you can give some titles and some words about this book) i'll be very happy ;)

Well, usually, I don't assosiate myself with some hero of the book, but I see in him some features that I have as well, and usually there are my bad features... and I feel upset(

Of course, you're always welcome! ;)

So, as the one to start the topic, ;) - I am just crazy about associations of the kind. Of course, not every book, just the most "beloved", e.g. (apart from my fav LOTR trilogy and other Tolkien stuff, for there I have my own legend) in "Harry Potter" series I used to feel like Hermione while I was a student, now tend to Prof. Macgonnagal :) As for movies - e.g. Matrix trilogy - though I actually adore Niobe I'm 100% Merovingian :) And feel like Jurgen in my fav "Equilibrium". However, I also have one universal association - if you happen to know - Margarita Maultasch from "Die Haessliche Herzogin" by Leon Feuchtwanger.

Nad_Gamgee, i am always ready to try something new ;) every genre has something interesting in it :)

And one more question - do you prefer reading in original or in translation?

LI 5.09.15

Nad_Gamgee, only in original ;)

Nad_Gamgee, I prefer to read first in translation and then in original (if it's possible, of course).
