Talking of books, because I haven't in a while.

Name 5 fictional characters you most want to punch in the face.
1. Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. Because he’s a childish, arrogant, evil, manipulative brat.
2. Vanyel Ashkevron, from Mercedes Lackey’s Last Herald-Mage: I love angsty Vanyel when he’;s a kid. When he’s in his late thirties, not so much. I think we’ll be taking a small break from Lackey after I finish reading Magic’s Price . I’m finding it a bit harder to ignore the fact that her characters never seem to make mistakes and they’re always perfect.
3. Jophrey, from A Song of Ice and Fire. Because not only is he a jerk, he’s a *royal* jerk.
4. Y’know, I kind of want to punch Roland in Stephen King’s Dark Tower books. Or at least the Roland that appears in the short story “The Sisters of Iluria” or whatever it’s called. I’m not sure what annoys me about him… But something does.
5. Georgia Nicolson, from Louise Rennison’s YA series. She was funny in the first book. By the fifth, she was simply tedious, shallow, mean, and kind of a slut.
Bonus: Any male and female character in most romance novels probably needs a good smack at some point.
