If you are looking for a good read, take a chance on Thackeray's Vanity
Fair. There's a character in that book, Rawdon Crawley, who reminds me of
Herring and "Reggie."


Pretty sad if reading a good piece of literature makes you think of NG
characters.

There's nothing unusual about recalling the "attributes" of characters
in literature and applying them to actual people you might encounter.
There are several posters here who exhibit some of the worst attributes
of Dickens' villains.

As an example, "Reggie" reminds me most of Dickens' Uriah Heep from
David Copperfield.

A brief descriptor from Wiki:

"The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and
general insincerity."

Reggie.
