Did you like him before revolution?

Look what happens to Sue. I think Olga from Goncharov was kind of hot, too. She seemed witty and intelligent--a little fickle maybe, though. Hmm, I'm not sure what exactly makes a good woman in literature, but some combination of those female leads I think is close.

Maybe Liz is like that on the surface...But I bet when Mr. Darcy got her home...
Jane Eyre is too, oh, I don't know — "good". She would someone who insisted you go to church twice on Sunday or be damned. And forget about letting a curse word slip, or having a drink with the boys once in a while.
As much as I love Thomas Hardy, "Jude" was one of his first books I read of his and I don't remember too much about Sue. But there's nothing wrong with being a sympathetic wife.
I don't believe I met Olga.

Character crushes?

That's EASY! Back in the 60s it my ideal doll was Honey West:

Alas, she was only a work of fiction!:bawling:

I might be the only one but I had a crush on Holden Caulfield. :blush: I guess he was as depressed as I was, I thought he would understand me. :D I still have a crush on him. I loved the way he talked, too.

I have a different kind of crush on Roland Deschain de Gilead, the main character of Stephen King's Dark Tower. He is quite cold and private, but I like him. He's quite sexy, too.

Of course, Wonder Woman wasn't too bad, either:

Sydney Carton from a Tale of Two Cities is amazing.
And I also like Aragorn from LOTR. He's definitely a stud. Of course, my crush on him might have a little to do with Viggo Mortensen, who played him in the movies.

Would anyone terribly mind if when you mention a character, referencing the book he or she is out of? Some I know. Others, who sound very appealing, I'm not familiar with.
And Liz Bennet (P&P) is still tops! ;)

Tamahome. However he is from an manga I read a lot. I still do wish he was real, I also like Ron Weasly from Harry Potter. ^^;;

Soames Forsyte from The Forsyte Saga, although I think that might be more pity than an actual crush but whatever it is, I'm very attached to that character. Ivan from The Brothers Karamazov is another favorite, didn't love the book as a whole but Ivan was definitely a highlight for me and to continue my fascination with tortured characters, Maedhros from The Silmarillion and Isildur from LOTR.

My first one would be Laurie, from Alcott's Little Women. :lol: That was when I was 8.

Then, few years later, I desperatedly fell in love with Corto Maltese :blush:
- brave, clever, good-loking, romantic, mysterious - what more could you wish for??? :p

Oh boy... Edward Cullen... I used to like Patrick from the Alice books, he is still awesome, but not much of a crush anymore.

And L, from the manga Death Note. =D

Oh my gosh. I forgot about Laurie. Yes, he was just lovely. =)

For a long time, I was confused about Laurie's gender. His name sounded so feminine but his character came across as masculine.

Huh... I always did think he was the best of her heroes.

You do all realise this is rather ridiculous dont you? But has anyone notice a recent serge in fiction where one of these charcters jumps out of the book?
Im sure a couple of months ago I shelved a book called spmething like Mr Darcy and me ... and I rember thinking WHAT?!

Anyway to join the maddness Ive always been very find of Zorro, of course that statarted when I was long long before I discoverd The Curse of Capistrano.

John Thornton was a great guy too... :nod:

I LOVE Laurie! He is definitley one of my favourites! I tend to fall in love with one of the main male characters from every book I read!

Mr. Knightley from "Emma"
Edmund from "The Count of Monte Cristo"
Rhett Butler....mmmm.. :)
And many others! :p

Rhett Butler was real though.... or am I getting the actor and charcter mixed up? I alaways thought the actor was Butler? :confused:

Rhet butler is the character, Clark Gable is the guy who played him.

Vittoria Colonna from The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone, although she was a real person, not a fictional character.

Here's a picture of her drawn by Michelangelo himself:

One would have to be Satsuko from Diary of a Mad Old Man by Tanizaki; also Mallory from the Carol O'Connell novels. Something about those bad girls, gets me every time...

Darcy!!!! Man, I think Lizzie Bennett and I are pretty much the same person.

That, and I think I'll always have a soft spot for Holden Caulfield as well. You just wanna make everything better for him!

Who is Holden Caulfield? Which novel is he from? Just wondering.... :)

I started Pride and Prejudice a few days ago and I can see that I am going to fall in love with Mr. Darcy! :)

Holden Caulfield is the leading character in J.D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye.
