Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

Which fictional character would make the worst roommate?

Definitely Dracula. He would be awake when I want to sleep, he would have bad breath, he wouldn’t share expenses on groceries.

ahaha, I'm reading Dracula now (no previous knowledge apart from general cultural osmosis), he seems to keep his guest up all night :D

Vera Wong ofVera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers because she gives so much, so very much, unsolicited advice.

However I do want to be a 2x or 3x a week patron of her tea shop to have quick chats with her as she prepares the perfect tea for whatever concern I have any given day.

Nope! Reading 2 horror books so characters are either bad or stupid.
Maybe the octopus, Marcellus from Remarkably Bright Creatures - quiet, smart...

None ! I don't do roomates as a general rule. Neighbors maybe , but not roomates .
Secondly , most of the characters in the books I read are quirky and having one of them that close is too close for comfort for me .

I have never had a roommate either, besides my husband. It can be challenging at times….

I love having green tea with honey. She sounds like a good choice

Jack Torrance, from The Shining, would be a pretty terrible roommate.
