Really? I thought it would be Maglor or at least a Feanorion....

Bilbo.
The propensity for writing things about subjects that he knows a lot on, but is no expert (e.g. Elves) feels very familiar, as does the stay-at-home routine mixed with a dash of moving somewhere foreign. And the pipe. But, I suppose, the most "human" character in The Hobbit is meant to be identified with... EDIT: Meanwhile, Gandalf is the character I would *like* to be: a crotchety old know-it-all with plenty of cause to be snarky.

Daeron also deserves a mention actually EDIT: ha, have just seen this thread says LOTR. OK sure, beside the Silmarillion they're all a bit shabby, but I suppose I go with the usual bespectacled option, Faramir...

I actually have to agree with Galadriel: Merry is the most like me - generally happy and friendly, a bit of an organisator and leader, feels kind of deeply but is still very down-to-earth and also of the scholarly type. Plus, he and Pippin always reminded me of myself and my little sister.
I actually also started thinking that Gimli is also someone slightly like me - I can see myself in the ubiquitous pessimism and the courage that exists side by side with it and in the loyalty to friends, the impatience and the love and awe of beautiful things. Plus, Gimli's jokes generally make me chuckle the most when I'm reading LotR even though they are sometimes really stupid. And if I was an old man, I'd undoubtedly be a lot like Gandalf.

Hm. Good question.
Tom Bombadil I suppose... Not because I'm First, or the Master of anything in particular - and, honestly, I never make up and recite silly poetry in public nor strut around in bright yellow boots - but rather because I'm quite satisfied as long as I've got a good woman, good food and drink and some music and hiking for entertainment, much like Tom
