* The novel ''[[Sixth Column (novel)|Sixth Column]]'' (also titled ''The Day After Tomorrow'') by [[Robert A. Heinlein]] includes a hobo character. The hobo used to be a graduate student who decided to research the hobo lifestyle. He discovered he liked it and gave up being a student to be a hobo. He also points out to the protagonist that hobos are not tramps or bums, and in fact lays out an entire social taxonomy of American transients, with bindlestiffs at the bottom and true hobos at the top.
** Old blind Rhysling, the Singer of the Spaceways in Heinlein's ''[[The Green Hills
* George and Lennie from ''[[Of Mice and Men]]'', a novel by former hobo John Steinbeck.
