Un reality

I'm feeling distinctly disillusioned with the real world of late, so here is a list of fictional characters I wish were real so I could hang out:

• Richard Jury
• Mary Russell
• Julian Kestrel
• Amelia Peabody
• William and Hester Monk
• Tobias Walton
(all of the above from previous post on fictional characters) 
•  Sherlock Holmes 
• Armand Gamache
• Lord Peter Wimsey
• Flavia  de Luce
• Phryne Fisher
• Bess Crawford
• Vicky Bliss
• Theophilos (aka Feste)

There are countless others who would be a hoot, but are not part of a series. The joy of characters who are in a series is that they come back and grow and become more real each new book. And the really well-created ones, get better with each book too.
