I was thinking a dangerous thing to do I know. would anyone be interested in discussing or contributing to a thread like this one I think Mrs Bennett is at the top of my list and I was trying to read the second Lisa Jewel and couldn't get through it because of Nadia so maybe she is worse at least I read P&P right through!

Ooh that sounds interesting - I will give it some thought It will probably be a character in a book that I could not stand but was still intrigued to know what happened but nothing did.

I loved Mrs Bennett in P&P! However, I am reading the Amelia Peabody Mysteries by Elizabeth Peters and her son Ramses really gets on my nerves!

Lyra from the Phillip Pulman series.
I just could not warm to her. She irritated me in an odd way though because though this sounds like a contradiction I got to the end of the book and could not care what happened to her, live or die, did not care, just go away and leave me a lone.
I did read the other two books but could not really tell you what happened or how it all ended.

Paul Morel in Lawrences 'Sons and Lovers'. An unpleasant selfish little misogynist.
