Re: Names and stereotypical characters
in reply to a message by Nix
I also have a friend who is likely to stop reading a book, or avoid reading it entirely, if the main male character is named Jack. He thinks it's overdone to the point of cliche with Jack being the all-around can-do hunky hero type.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
