Who am I? - 20 Question Game

I am thinking of a person, real or fictional, living or dead. This mystery person is related in some logical way to books and literature.

The group can ask 20 questions to try to figure out the identity of the mystery person.

I will only answer yes or no (maybe a little more info ).

A guess will be sent ONLY via PM - and does not count towards the question count.

Only one guess per person per day allowed.

The first person to correctly guess the person is the winner, and gets one (1) Sherlock point.

Ask away!
