Which Literary Character Do You Totally Have a Crush On?

May 26, 2010 by Nathan Bransford356 Comments

First off, I’m very pleased to report that after last month’s You Tell Me wherein I sheepishly admitted I had never read LORD OF THE RINGS: this has now been rectified. I even started with The Hobbit. Loved them! That Tolkien guy was a pretty good writer in case you haven’t heard.

Now then. This week’s You Tell Me is inspired by a question Robin asked in the Forums: which literary character do you have a crush on?

Since it was #towelday yesterday, I’ll go with teenage Nathan’s choice: Trillian from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

What about you?

    At the moment, it would have to be Uncle Virge the intelligent spaceship computer from the DRAGONBACK series. There is just something so addicting about his personality…

    I am completely, head over heels in love with Finny from "A Separate Peace." He's just so good, and he seems like he would be really, really hot.

    <3 Finny for life
