Hang the blackout curtains on the bookcases. You can tie them back when your window curtains are closed or when it's not sunny.

Rearrange the room, or simply do not worry about it.

Simple enough. Unless you've many bookcases, move the ones you have to north walls. (Fwiw, I've many many bookcases & live in a place where in summer there is prolonged northern sunlight but I've never been over-bothered about fading spines for the most part; I don't like to see the effects of glare on art & design books spines, but I lower the blinds on west side of house in late summer afternoons for my own benefit anyway.)

They won't warp if you put them between firmly placed bookends or better still when you have enough books to fill a shelf with books that will cheerfully provide support to their neighbours.

No problem! ^ - ^

That is another good idea but ill have think on it. Thank you!!!!

If you have the room, you can try to re-arrange the area and have the shelf face away from the windows, so that way they won't get sun bleached.

I'd probably say Charlie from Flowers for Algernon. He really didn't deserve all the crap he was put through.

I'm a big fan of Gully Foyle from The Stars My Destination. Gutter is a great English dialect

Yes that is a good idea, but i forgot to mention that i love to open my curtains while the sun is out. I makes my room feel more alive i guess.

2nd this. You can buy some from Walmart or even order them on Amazon. Other stores like Big Lots and Target sell them too and I think I saw some at Ollie's which is a discount store awhile back. They are usually inexpensive. I use them for my migraines so I have them in my bedroom and the livingroom.

Death, from On a Pale Horse.

Every time he deals with the bureaucracy I feel more and more sympathy.

Edmond Dantes

Why, Mr Holmes of course.

And Murderbot from duh... the Murderbot series.

Thorby in Citizen of the Galaxy by Heinlein. My memory is pretty bad and I often forget the names of characters but remember their actions. Thorby sticks out in that I read the book once over a decade ago and still occasionally think about the character and what he went on to do after the book ends.

Kerowyn from By The Sword by Mercedes Lackey

This was going to be my exact answer!

Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind

Not the most likable character but memorable nonetheless.

Sophia FitzOsborne from A Brief History of Montmaray- I saw so much of myself in her. Quiet bookish bookishness, insecurity, love for her family. Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice- she practically leaps off the page.

Jean Val Jean.

Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit.
