Your top three were the ones which leapt to mind as I started reading the entry, even though I'd forgotten Arthur's name.

Hah! Perhaps you know me after all...! :)

I'm surprised you would have though of (or even remembered) George Smiley -- I don't remember talking with you about John Le Carre at all.

We didn't talk about him much, but you spoke so rarely of fiction that you like it made an impression. It may also have stuck because I tried to read "Tinker Tailor" and could not get into it at all, thus making it more notable that you did like it. ;-)

What, no Rorschach?

Jeez! Maybe I should add Violent Marv and Ron Post while I'm at it.... Honestly, I'm much better now! :)

Gomez Addams

Ah, good point! (I miss Raul Julia!)

So who's on your list? For some reason, Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice) leaps to mind....
