I think maybe Meggie from Inkheart, I'd give anything to visit Eleanor's house/library, go through every last one of her adventures no matter how harrowing, and besides, she can read herself AND her favorite characters in or out of any book at any time!

Or maybe Violet Baudelaire, from The Series of Unfortunate Events. Yes, her life sucked, but she met the world's most wonderfully eccentric people, lived in a steampunk era (yay steampunk!), and I love her costumes. I'd love to be able to invent things like she does, too.

But really... I think I'd most absolutely love to be Anne from Anne of Green Gables. But... wait... hey, that's right, I WAS her!! And I'd ever so gladly do it all over again. <3

Oh shiz... The Giving Tree horrified me even as a little kid! My mom loved the book, but I couldn't stand to have it read. I thought it was a cruel story, and it made me upset every time. I mean, seriously... little kids view that tree as a person, not an inanimate object! It's basically a story of suicide/murder with consent. Frickin' leech of a boy. Of all the many books I devoured as a child, that one was rarely nibbled, to say the least.
