Hi, folk! Would like to ask you: when reading some books you really like, do you associate yourself with heroes of those books? Who are they? Do you have any universal hero? Do you associate with movies as well?

As for me, I divide such associations into "who I am" and "who I want to be like". And often this "who I am" differs from my fav hero ;) Can you name any examples of yours?

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.

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...

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.

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

Roxana_Siren 31-08-2006-12:02 удалить
Nad_Gamgee, I prefer to read first in translation and then in original (if it's possible, of course).
