I love a bad boy with a heart of gold. <br /><br />Calvin from a Wrinkle in Time. I re-read his scenes with Meg over and over again. I love him so very much!!<br /><br />Ian from The Host. The scene near the end of the book where he is begging her not to leave gets me every time. Oh. I want my future boyfriend to cry over me- not sure if I'm cry worthy or not, but I want it!<br /><br />I love literary boys!

Aragorn is my first and lon...Ohh I love this topic!<br />Aragorn is my first and longest standing literary crush. I mean, the guy's a RANGER! He fights to keep the North free and doesn't demand credit for doing so. He can lead you almost anywhere in Middle-earth, speak most of their languages,and tell you the history of most of the important places. And have you seen him FIGHT?! I still sigh every time I watch the movies, even though I first fell for him in the books. He's mysterious, a born leader and GOOD. Does it get much better than that?<br /> Along similar lines is Sir Percy Blakeney, who acts like an airhead but is actually - no, I don't want to spoil it for anyone. But he's still AWESOME!<br />Also recently added to my list is Tarzan from E.R. Burroughs' original stories. He can be a bit over-the-top heroic, but a guy who can swing through the jungle, kill lions with his bare hands AND has a high moral standard is, well, AWESOME!<br />I also have soft-spots for several literary guys including: Gilbert Blythe, Percy Jackson, Prince Luka, Gareth from the Squire's Tales and Taran from the Chronicles of PrydainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-53347956704947055892011-12-13T00:47:48.911-07:002011-12-13T00:47:48.911-07:00AHHHHH!!!!! this is too good of a topic!!!!! ok I&...AHHHHH!!!!! this is too good of a topic!!!!! ok I'm only 15 so cut me some slack with my crushes.<br />my favorite male characters: {LOTR} Legolas, Aragorn. {Twilight} Emmett, Jasper, Jacob Black.
