Today's top ten is literary characters I want to be besties with.
1. Mike Hammer: This is a guy you can have a drink with talk sports, women, and politics. Just be sure to have your back to a wall facing the door and be ready to duck for cover if need be.
I the Jury by Mickey Spillane
2. Rhett Butler: This is a guy who knows what he wants and how to get it. Riding his coat tails could get me rich.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
3. Aslan: He may be a lion, but he's willing to lay down his life for others.
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
4. Blood: The telepathic dog. It would be cool to have an intelligent conversation with a faithful friend. Even if in a post apocalyptical world.
A Boy and His Dog by Harlan Ellison
5. F'Lar: Oh how I would love to talk about having a telepathic link with a dragon, flying between to get from place to place and fighting thread, and how to become a dragon rider like him.
Dragon Flight by Anne McCaffery.
6. Killishandra Ree: To have a conversation with someone who has perfect pitch and can sing for crystal that is the key to all communication in the universe. Maybe be with her while she's doing it and is sexually turned on.
The Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffery
7. Pappy Zack: Oh the tales he could tell about discovering Little Fuzzies and the fight to keep them from being treated as slaves by unscrupulous mining companies.
Little Fuzzie by H.B. Piper
8. Faerowyn: What a joy it would be to travel with a half dark elf trying to find her father and claim her royalty in an enchanted world.
Dark Blade by Tony Roberts.
9.Sextus Casca Longinus: To have a drink in a bar and listen to just one of his adventures ranging from the time of Tiberias in Ancient Rome to the present day. What a trip.
Casca The Eternal Mercenary by Barry Sadler
10. Hillary Ashton Pellham-Martin: To meet and know someone who could fit into the world of Hindu and English. Married a princess and live to tell the tale of fighting in Kabul against the Afghans. What a conversation that would be.
The Far Pavilions by M. M. Kay

Aslan is such a great choice. And welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! Is this your first week? I don't think I've seen you talk about other TTT themes before?!
My TTT.
Lol about Mike Hammer. The 80's movie version of I, the Jury is a guilty pleasure of mine- Armand Assante was pretty awesome in that. :)
And Aslan- nice pick too.
I was going to leave a super deep comment on some of your choices but I'm too busy laughing and nodding in agreement to what you said about Rhett. Riding his coat tails could get you rich and I 100% support this life decision of yours, should he ever come to life.
Somehow I missed these comments so my replies are just a little bit late.
Lydia, this was my first time on TTS.
Greg, it is a good one. It's the ending of the book that was unique to the time period.
Jessica I'm glad I was able to amuse you.
