Name the most unforgetable characters, male or female, from novels set in the city.

Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. How can we forget them?

These are all great ones! There are so many other memorable Dickens characters, but my favorite is David Copperfield. I'd also like to suggest Horace Rumpole Rumpole of the Bailey and Amber St. Clair Forever Amber.

Shame on me, I have never read P. G. Wodehouse. Where should I start? Any recommendations?
