rwxToday's questions:
Do you typically enjoy reading stories or books where you're similar to the protagonist?
Do you typically enjoy watching movies or tv shows where you're similar to the protagonist?
Are there fictional characters that you think you're like? Any like you that you don't enjoy reading about?
based on things that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bosstweed and owenthomas have said/written, although Owen said his part a long time ago. I'd be seriously interested in finding out people's answers.

While I have a hard time with some fiction where I don't identify at all with anyone in the book, it's a pretty rare book where that happens. I generally have to be in the mood for it, and in those situations, I'm generally in the mood for something where the characters are ciphers, or unimportant.
