Literary Families We'd All Like to Join

You know the quote: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Whether you believe Tolstoy or not, there's something alluring about dysfunctional families, especially when they're strictly literary. All that aside, we realized that we wouldn't mind being part of their tragicomedy, and we got to thinking about some of our other favorite literary families that we sort of wish would adopt us.
