Anna Begins Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 From Aragorn to Heathcliff, people are weighing in on Twitter's bookadayuk, they are asking this question today: Who is your literary crush? I'm curious what we would say Quote
Athena Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I don't have any literary crushes (or any crushes in general). But it'll be interesting to hear what people say. Some characters from certain young-adult books seem popular, under young adults. Quote
Marmin Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Lol, I have one in almost every book I read. Well, almost, since the boys in the book I am currently reading are way under my age lololol One of my biggest crush is Jean-Claude from Laurell K. Hamilton's books: Anita Blake Series Quote
emelee Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Mr Darcy. Certainly not Heathcliff. I cannot stand him. Quote
Raven Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I don't know if "crush" is quite the right word, but I really liked Emma Morley in David Nicholls's One Day. I don't think I've ever read a more well drawn character and I kept reading the book just to find out more about her. There was an honesty and straight-forwardness to her character that I've not come across in any other book and she seemed more real to me than any other character I've ever read (in contemporary fiction). Ann Hathaway was so not the right person to play this character (to the point where I've refused to watch the film). Quote
Kell Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Stu Redman from The Stand. You'll have to fight me for him - I've been having a love affair with him for 22 years. Quote
bobblybear Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 ^ The gloves are off! Well, as long as that horrible Frannie doesn't get to keep him! Quote
Kell Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe we could come to some kind of arrangement between us. I'm certain we'd be able to keep Stu happier than Frannie. Quote
Anna Begins Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 After Trainspotting, I have a big crush on Mark Renton, but I have a thing for destructive men On the flip side, Jack Reacher has been my crush for about 3 years now. Quote
emelee Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I have a thing for Snape I kinda have a thing for him too. Quote
frankie Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I kinda have a thing for him too. He's such an underappreciated fella Quote
emelee Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 He's such an underappreciated fella I agree. He's not a bad guy. He's just not all that friendly with everyone. Quote
Anna Begins Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 lol ^^^ Where are Steve and Laura? They've gotta have some neat ones. Athena? Any fantasy ones? Quote
Athena Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 lol ^^^ Where are Steve and Laura? They've gotta have some neat ones. Athena? Any fantasy ones? I don't really have any crushes . Just like I don't particularly fancy any movie stars or anything. For me the personality of someone is very important and how they treat me and act towards me, and other people, so I don't really get crushes on actors nor on literary characters. I will agree that some are good looking or seem very friendly, but I don't have any crushes. Sorry to be so boring! Quote
Anna Begins Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Sorry to be so boring! I was just wondering about all those beautiful characters in all those fantasy books I hear so much about! Quote
Kudz Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 My ultimate literary crush is definitely Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. I've had a huge crush on him since the very first time I read the series back when I was in my early to mid-teens. My crush only got worse after watching the 1985 adaptation; Jonathan Crombie will always, and forever, be Gilbert Blythe. Quote
timebug Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 I always remember as a young lad, falling for Lorna Doone when I read RD Blackmore's book of the same name! Quote
