There's a game going about to identify one's self via three or four literary characters.
Here's my submission from the four quarters of my soul, or some such:
Jim Hawkins, from Stevenson's Treasure Island;
Ishmael, from Melville's Moby Dick;
Frank Bascombe, from Ford's The Sportswriter;
and
Robert Walton, from Shelley's Frankenstein.
