Ten Book Nerd Characters

This week's Top Ten list is Ten Characters Who Are Fellow Book Nerds. Book nerds, as in characters that love reading or books, are writers, work at a bookstore, or something along that line. I'm linking up my list at The Broke and The Bookish, where you can find lots of other lists as well.

Elizabeth Bennet of Pride and Prejudice came to mind immediately, because one of the early conversations between her and Fitzwilliam Darcy is about books and reading.

Budding author Jo March in Little Women is another character I thought of right away.

Thursday Next is the lead character in Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair and following series. Thursday is a Special Operative in Literary Detection, and is able to interact with characters from fiction.

Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery has a huge imagination and a great love of words and stories.

Isaac Vainio of Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines is a very special librarian. He has the ability to reach into books and draw forth objects from the stories.

Millie Longfellow didn't have the best education but she loves learning new words and carries a dictionary in her pocket most of the time. She is the lead character in Jen Turano's book In Good Company.

Theodora Lestrange is working on writing a novel in The Dead Travel Fast by Deanna Raybourn.

Clara Carter of She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell loves poetry and science.

Emma Smallwood is a book-loving teacher in The Tutor's Daughter by Julie Klassen.

Azar Nafisi is a book lover that is not a fictional character, but an author, and her memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran tells of her book club for women in Iran.

Who are some of the "book nerd" characters you have read about?
