Oddly enough, though she irritates me no end in the books, I have quite a few Ann-ish friends. Even down to the religion, which is peculiar, since I've always been a fairly prickly lefty Jew. Maybe there's something in that 'opposites attract' business. I prefer Nicola to read about, but despite certain similarities of taste I don't see the basis for a lasting friendship. In real terms I think I'd be most friendly with Ann - though not best friends.
I'd *want* Miranda as a best friend - she's certainly my favourite character, on the basis that she was the first fictional person I came across who more or less encapsulated parts of my world view. That bit about the 'common little Yvonne something or other' (books not to hand) who makes snide remarks about Jews rather sums up certain aspects of my private school experiences. However, I'm not at all sure that she would like me...
