Try this facebook quiz. It's scarily accurate.
Which literary character are you? (http://apps.facebook.com/whatfamousliebqzru/quiz/questions?quiz_metric[activated_at]=1270972809&quiz_metric[clicked_attribute]=feeds_clicked&_fb_fromhash=23801cb704771781509d713e2323d3f3&ref=mf)
This is what I got.
Nikhar took the "What Famous Literary Character Are You?" quiz and the result is Guy Montag from Fahrenheit 451!.
You are Guy Montag from Ray Bradbury's most renowned classic. All your life, you've felt something was wrong in the way things are done. The idea of going with the status quo offends you. You want, more than anything, to change the way the world works. The only problem ...is, you don't really know HOW. Despite all your revolutionary urges, you're not sure how to bring about the change you so desperately desire. So you act on impulse. You make spur-of-the-moment decisions and often end up in danger. People don't understand you, but you wish they would. You want everyone to see things through your eyes. You certainly wish you could make the world a better place, but whether or not those wishes will transform into notable actions remains to be seen.
It's so awesomely accurate! :D

You are Jay Gatsby from F. Scott Fitzgerald's most memorable classic. You're well-off, to say the least; but your money can't buy you happiness. You're surrounded by scores of people, but you can't really call any of them your friends. You like to party, you like to entertain, and yet your life remains hollow and unfulfilled. You know everyone is using you, but there's nothing you can do to change that. You've tried to fill the hole in your life with possessions, only to find that you still feel empty inside. Yet underneath it all, you really aren't a bad person. You're romantic, you're charming, and you really do have the best intentions at heart. It's a shame no one will ever get close enough to you to truly see that
This couldn't have been more wrong if it had tried! I've got a small group of close friends, a loving fiance - I don't care about money just having fun. Fun questions though :D

Jane Eyre from, well... Jane Eyre!
You are Jane Eyre from Charlotte Bronte's classic masterpiece. You spend much of your life torn between the desires of your heart and the choices you feel are most logical. You're a smart person who is very resilient, romantic, strong, and forgiving. You have a lot of love to offer people, if they're willing to look past your eccentricities to find it. You spend much of your time in a state of humble, thoughtful silence, yet you're not afraid to get assertive when the situation calls for it. You've never been one to conform to society's rules, even if that means making unpopular decisions. People will try to change you, but you'll never let them. Above all else, you're a Romantic with your own set of beliefs and desires. In the end, everyone knows you're going to make the right decision.
I guess that's pretty accurate

I don't do Facebook either, but probably Jude Fawley from Hardy's masterpiece Jude the Obscure.

"You are Frodo Baggins from J.R.R. Tolkien\'s most famous fantasy series. You\'re one of the most kind and loyal friends a person can have. You\'re committed to always doing what you feel is right, even if you don\'t always succeed. Your purity and devotion can turn some people away, but most love you and consider you trustworthy. Despite your rather timid disposition, you\'re actually exceedingly brave when the time calls for it. You\'re driven by a powerful sense of duty, even if you\'re most comfortable living a dull, boring life at home. Most would criticize you for being naive, but their opinions don\'t matter to you. You may not be very multidimensional, but who needs depth when you\'ve got so much happiness?"
I'm a little offended at being called not very multidimensional. I don't think that part is very accurate, with the so much happiness haha. Nor do I live a dull, boring life. Oh well. It's alright I guess.

Pfft, it said I was Holden Caulfield and then went on about how angst-ridden and introspective I am. Am not!

I got Jane Eyre too, although in reality I'm probably much too shallow to marry a one handed blind man.
Edit: Maybe if they were a sexy pirate.

Dorian Gray from The Picture of Dorian Gray!
You are Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde's suspenseful classic. On the surface, you seem like a perfectly likable person. You're dashing, witty, charming, and fun. People are naturally drawn to you. You become the center of attention wherever you go. Yet, underneath that handsome surface lies your true, ugly nature. At your core, you're a vain, self-absorbed, wicked person. You have no real friends, and, to make matters worse, you're gullible. That's why you'll do anything, even sell your soul, to stay on top of the world. But the joke's on you. Some day, you're going to have to take a long hard look in the mirror and see your reflection for what it truly is. And when that day comes, you're going to find out for yourself just how feeble and hideous you really are.
That's more like it.

This is what I got:
You are Beowulf from the classic legend with the same name. The number one driving force in your life is honor. You hold yourself to a strict moral and ethical code that you are never willing to break. You're noble and unafraid to fight for what you believe is just and true. If you have one real downfall, it's your pride. You're so confident in your ability to solve all of your own problems that you'd sooner die than accept help from a friend. Your strength may have served you well so far, but it won't be enough to carry you for the rest of your life. If you're not careful, your hubris is going to get the best of you. No matter how bold you are, you're still only human. Learn to accept your limitations.
Beowulf is apparently setting a mark on my destiny somehow. First I happened to pick him as my avatar, and now I happen to resemble his personality. What am I supposed to do next? Go find Grendel and pick a fight? :p
So... I have learned to accept I'm only human... so... can anyone please carry me?... my legs just can't seem to hold me anymore... so... can I borrow some of your legs for a while? http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_pray.gif I promise to clean them, perfume them, and send them back in good shape in a nice package with a gorgeous ribbon :p :D

You are Alice, from Lewis Carroll\'s timeless masterpiece. You\'re an inquisitive person with a great sense of empathy and compassion. You have a deep, but quiet, love for others, especially the less fortunate. Some might criticize you for being headstrong, but most see your boldness as an endearing quality. You don\'t always fit in with the rest of society, but you follow your heart, and you have a good head on your shoulders. Although you occasionally have to struggle to find your place in the world, you never compromise your integrity. You are who you are, love it or leave it.
Sounds like me.

I can't access the quiz but if I were to pick a literary character that most resembled my own, I would pick Hamlet. I feel as though he and I are so similar. I contemplate suicide a lot and am too stuck in the middle of inaction and weighing the pros and cons. Yes... if there was any character I truly related to. It would be Hamlet.

Stephanie took the "What Famous Literary Character Are You?" quiz and the result is Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy!.
You are Frodo Baggins from J.R.R. Tolkien's most famous fantasy series. You're one of the most kind and loyal friends a person can have. You're committed to always doing what you feel is right, even if you don't always succeed. Your purity and devotion can turn some peo...ple away, but most love you and consider you trustworthy.

You're driven by a powerful sense of duty, even if you're most comfortable living a dull, boring life at home. Most would criticize you for being naive, but their opinions don't matter to you. You may not be very multidimensional, but who needs depth when you've got so much happiness?

I'll join the Jane Eyre club! The description is not perfect, but pretty accurate anyway, I think. And it's my favourite book :D
