Angela | 1934 comments I don't know if this is already out there, but I thought we could give it a go...

List a book and the next person has to put the name of the main character in the book. First names only are okay.

For example:
Book: Gods in Alabama
Main Character: Arlene

So I will kick it off!!

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

oooh, this is like the opposite of one that is floating around somewhere. We would post the character, and you had to tell us the book.
Cool!
