I made this list by the order they popped into my head, and I'm a little surprised there aren't more books on there. I can tell you that 9 out of 15 of these were discovered before I graduated high school. Anne, Emily, and Jo would have been the first discovered, since I received all of those books one year at Christmas, and I stopped short of two people because they aren't technically fictional characters: Anne Frank and Laura Ingalls Wilder.
