Sexiest Characters in Literature?

A friend's blog topic from a few days ago... I wondered what the fruhead reactions would be...A laminated list of sorts.

I like Dagny Taggart in Atlas Shrugged. Such a strong willed independent woman.

Fitzwilliam Darcy from Pride & Prejudice. Maybe it's just me, but a challenging stubborn man is hot.

Apparently, you've never lived with one.

He was the first guy who came to mind when I read this...

Also considered Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre...ahh those old timey menfolk.���

i have never gotten the rochester love. but then, i've never been much for bad boys.

honestly? if i had to pick anyone, i'd say joe willard from the betsy-tacy books. but i sort of have an obvious thing for midwestern journalism students who know how to cook. (fun fact: neal and joe both worked at the same newspaper! other fun fact: joe is not real!)

oh! and for girls, definitely emily starr from l.m. montgomery's emily series. anne was who i was, but emily was who i wanted to be--all beautiful and elfin and poetic and psychic.

I had Darcy in a tie with Mr. Knightly...Jane sure knew how to write men!!!

Well, I always had a thing for Tristan, from the James Herriot books. It's been so long since I've read one, though, I don't know if the thing is still around.

They totally are.

I had a thing for Tristan, too :)

I didn't have many, because my imagination sucks so much that I can't take them off the page. But I had a bit of a thing for Arthur Dent from the hitchhiker's books.

Me, too!

I'm so me-tooey.

Really?�I kind of�liked Ford Prefect. :)

Ford was too hoopy a frood for me. I like 'em on the geeky and awkward side. :)

I think ford was sexier (as stated below), and to me, Zaphod is the one that's too hoopy for me. been sassed to many times, methinks :D

Oh, but wait! I forgot about Zaphod. I actually like him later on.

i'm with you, Ford is WAY sexier.

The fairest elven woman, raven haired, grey eyed, with the most beautiful voice ever. How can you beat that?

Speaking of which, I like Beren. Actually, I remembered just know that I love Feanor!

...and now i realize that i've posted a ton of different characters here already and that i need to get around to stopping.

Feanor is my favorite character. The name I used on the tolkien newgroup and that ended up on AMMF too was Feanole.

I've got two: Buddy from "Soul Music" by Terry Pratchet (Discworld) and when I was 13 it was Atreyu from The Neverending Story by Michael Ende

I never thought that 'buddy' was more than a teenager's name. I always thought that Carrot had many attractive attributes.

carrot. gosh yes.

holden caulfield, of course,

and eilonwy from the taran wanderer books.

my son and I just finished reading "the book of three". She is a bit high strung

I hope I don't sound stupid, but I really like Sirius Black from Harry Potter. Although, if we're going from classic literature, I always thought Darcy was a good one too.

no!! sirius belongs to remus!!!

??? What's wrong with Remus?

erm...who said anything was wrong with remus?

Romulus

NO FOUNDING ROME WITH GOD!

God founded Rome? He never mentioned that to me.

so?

explanation is possibly spoilery. select the text to read it, and be careful if you cut and paste it into a reply.
Ginny Weasley isn't exactly available, either, but that doesn't stop me totally wanting her - not to mention if she were real, she'd be turning 24 tomorrow, so it's not even like she'd even be too young for me. :)

*blink* *blink*
She's my age?

(I'd go on, but I can't remember how to do invisi-text, so I'll just leave this nice and vague)

well, a day older, but yeah.

Jean-Luc Picard is a sexpot

Gilbert Blythe

Oh my word! How could i forget too? I remember reading those books when I was little and wanting to slap Anne because she was being an idiot.

In my book, Amanda the lead character from the novel Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins gets my shout out.

Matt.

mmmMMmmmm .... X-men.

i love a guy with an accent :)

that's the reason I'm all about Gambit. ;-)

Kitty Pride anyone? ;-)

I can't be the only person disapointed that she was about 6 in the movie.

In the next one she'll be older

are you referring to xmen 3?
Cuz, the actress who plays her in that is 18. :)

No, in two there's a little girl running through walls (I think someone might even mention her name). She's actually in the same scene as Colossus.

Unless the third movie takes place a good bit later, I'm sure they'll declare that it wasn't her, but in the second one it was definitly a very young Kitty Pride.

ahh.
Well, according to imdb it was Katie Stuart.... who was 18 at the time.

;)

it's really irrelevant anyway, because it's still all about Rogue. :)

(er, in the movies, that is)

Heh.
A valid point.

(or all about wolverine... depending on if you're talking male or female...)

Wolverine reminds me WAY too much of my ex-b/f. I will have Picard :)

"oh jean-luc!!!!"

When I saw Colossus I thought of Colossus the Forbin Project. I did think it a bit disturbing that you thought a computer, not even a robot, was sexy.

okay i just remembered this too.....Calvin Miller from the Alvin Maker series by Orson Scott Card. And whil I'm at it, I might as well throw in Grego Ribeira from the Ender series.

Jilly from Charles deLint's Newford stories.

And I'm wondering what Mr Ford thought this summer of his 2nd favorite superhero the Invisible Woman.
