Hey NIA.
I know you have been doing the collecting of suggestions for your list.
But in the future make the poll up. Heading and description. And add one suggestion or None if you want. That way you have a link above in the description to start with.
You wont have to wait to find Dan to fix it afterwards. Or people won't have to search the whole post threads to find it.
Cool?

When you have a new idea, would please always post the list-link?
It's the normal procedure. I was encouraged to do that by the poll board members,
when I was about to suggest polls. So everybody can easily see the progress of
your suggestion. They can look at it anyway, when going to it by clicking
older conversations to your IMDb-Profile, but so it's less expenditure to get there. ;)

As it is difficult to obtain a reference to antoine roquentin, I would prefer to choose Dave Boyle, a character from Denis Lehane's novel "Mystic river", which would later be masterfully interpreted by Tim Robbins.

Add the Monster to the list https://www.imdb.com/list/ls043820656/ ? ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797–1851)
that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein,
a young scientist who creates
a hideous, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
Shelley started writing the story when she was 18,
and the first edition of the novel
was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20
Her name first appeared on the second edition, published in 1823.
Shelley travelled through Europe in 1814,
journeying along the river Rhine in Germany
with a stop in Gernsheim,
which is 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle,
where, two centuries before, an alchemist was engaged in experiments...
Frankenstein is infused with elements of
the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement.
At the same time, it is an early example of science fiction.
Since the novel's publication,
the name "Frankenstein" has often been used to refer to the monster itself.
This usage is considered erroneous
In the novel, the monster is identified by words such as
"creature", "monster", "daemon", "wretch", "abortion", "fiend" and "it".

Although, to be honest, it's a hard one. ACT_1 already picked Sherlock Holmes... To be honest that still leaves me with a tad too much possible choices: Hannibal Lecter, Francis Dolarhyde, James Bond, Karlsson, Captain Vrungel...

My favorite author is Isaac Asimov. I have over 100 of the over 400 books he wrote.
My favorite collections of short stories are I, Robot and The Complete Robot.
My favorite character is Dr. Susan Calvin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Calvin
Dr. Susan Calvin is a fictional character appearing in Isaac Asimov's Robot series of science fiction short stories. She was the chief robopsychologist at US Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc., posited as the major manufacturer of robots in the 21st century. She was the main character in many of Asimov's short stories concerning robots, which were later collected in the books I, Robot and The Complete Robot.
Sadly, the film I, Robot (2004) ruined my favorite charter by making her the love interest of Will Smith's character Del Spooner.

But I don't know; this is a really difficult question for me. It could also be:
Sula from Sula, by Toni Morrison
The narrator in Drown, by Junot Diaz
Anna Wulf from The Golden Notebooks, by Doris Lessing
Atticus, (or Jem or Scout) in To Kill a Mockingbird (easy image-wise)
Molly Bolt in Rubyfruit Jungle, by Rita Mae Brown
James Leer in Wonder Boys, by Michael Chabon (this was made into a film - a really good film - so I could easily get an image)
Anais from Henry and June (also made into a film)
...And all this does is make me think of more, like I'm just starting to open a treasure chest, stuffed full. I'll think on it and get back to you with something more concrete. : )
