Everything about Black House is brilliant!Originally Posted by Lily-sai
I just love Stu Redman. And in my head he looks exactly just like Gary Sinise.
But surprisingly, many of my favourite characters are from Black House - Henry Leyden, Jack Sawyer, Armand St. Pierre, even all the villains, because they were so brilliantly written.

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donald Merwin Elbert (Trash Can Man).
David Carver -- Desperation
To me, he represents all of SK's best writing, as well as any one character ever could.
Andy Dufresne, Jake, and Cuthbert are all my favorites.
Followed by:
Larry Underwood
Dinky Earnshaw
Teddy Brautigan
Harold Lauder
Callahan
Wireman
Edgar Freemantle
So far that is.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
Of course,one and only Roland Deschain and maybeee....Pennywise,cause Im still afraid of him
It's really hard for me to choose, but if I had a gun to my head, I'd probably go with Henry Leyden, from Black House. The character always has stuck with me...I'm also a big fan of Andre Linoge, from Storm of the Century.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
Roland is definitely my most favourite, but I also have a soft spot for the following:
Jack Sawyer
Wolf
Speedy
Ben Hanscome
Doloris Claibourne (that books is also one of my favourites)
John Coffey
Annie Wilkes
Jake (of DT)
Oy
I should probably say that the above mentioned are not in a prioritized list. Except for Roland of course.
Cam-a-cam-mal, Pria-toi, Gan delah

As for the thread overall question, its so hard in that King is so great at creating characters Its tough to try to single out characters over all his books!!!! I suppose you could try to break it down Good/Evil, etc, but it is very difficult!!! Some Favs that come to mind:
Good:
Danny
Henry Leyden
Roland
Jake
Charlie
Larry Underwood
Ben Mears
Johnny Mansville (? From Desperation/Regulators)
And of Course, Jack Sawyer!!!
Bad:
Flagg (in all variations)
Burnsie
Mr. Munshun
Christine
Cujo (both good and bad I suppose)
Jack Torrance (yeah, in the end, though tragic, he would be on my "Bad" list)
Crimson King (in all variations)
Big Jim Rennie
28 in 23 (?)!!!!
