Who/What's your favorite?

How can one character, one personality, be raised above all others when it is the summation of our activities which is so rewarding?

No one is asking you to put down everyone else. Just pick one. Or a few. Or give us a new one each week...it's just about sharing different things you've enjoyed. How could you love it so much, but refuse to pick out various instances of why? Not looking for the definitive list.

I've always been a fan of Sharku's posts...they are normally short, but still find a way to address the point enough, and soundly so. Ironically, I was just looking through his posts in the Books and the first one I found that I liked was definitely one of his longer ones, on the "'Canonicity': the Book or the Reader?" thread.
