I haven't just one single favorite character, being a multifandom woman, but here are the replies for Babylon 5.
Londo Mollari:
1) Songs of Li, a collection of the love poetry from the famous Centauri poet Usino Davosi. A lot of composers have plundered this collection as well, which means several poems double as great drinking songs.
2) The Creative Gambler's Guide Book To Games Throughout The Galaxy: written by Cin Cinnati, one of Londo's personal heroes. Signed by the author with the mysterious well-wishing inscription "Go 6!"
3) Foundation Trilogy: Mr. Garibaldi insists this one is human in origin and some sort of Earth classic, but Londo is more inclined with the theory that a bored Centauri historian fed up with chronicles and trying for some fictional recreation pulled a fast one on the humans shortly after first contact. Either way: as a how-to-save-an-empire guide book, it's not half bad. Plus the name "Hari Seldon" really does sound like a Centauri/Terran hybrid, hmmm?
4) Minbar Confidential: condemmed as a trashy hoax by literary critics (not to mention the Grey Council), this book is the reason why the Centauri didn't have a proper representative on Minbar for a while until Vir got the job. You see, the last Centauri ambassador on Minbar had a very, very bored second wife, who decided to enliven her life by some interspecies relations. The chapter "Experts On Threesomes? They Wish!" was a particular highlight.
5) The Book of G'Kar. Not that Londo would ever admit he has a copy. Or that he has written annotations in it. Or that he found someone writing biting annotations to his annotations, because that would imply he's rereading it quite a lot. Or that one day he found it with a dedication on the front page.
