Read-a-thon: Beginning of Hour 9

Finished High Fidelity! Pretty darn good. Also ate some reheated mashed potatoes that I made last night. Pretty darn good. On to something lighter... a little Death Note, perhaps?

The mini-challenge for Hour 8 is at Blkosiner's Book Blog and it is to make a top five list (how appropriate after HF!) of characters that I love to hate. Hmmm...

I'd say that the characters that I most love to hate are the ones that I can use to bother Scott by mimicking. So then, we must have...

1. Dolores Umbridge, from the Harry Potter series. "Hem hem!"
2. Carmelita Spats, from A Series of Unfortunate Events. "Cake-sniffing orphans in the Orphan Shack!"

But then there are also the characters that are just so terrible you have to have a certain respect for them...

3. The murderer from In the Woods
4. Annie Wilkes from Misery
5. President Snow from the Hunger Games series

Oooh, I am frustrated just thinking of them! Well-done characters, all.
