Top 5 Literary Crushes

Normal people develop normal crushes. I, on the other hand, only ever develop crushes on fictional characters. But then again, I think I eject reality at every given opportunity. And contrary to popular opinion, I'm not really drawn to the Byronic hero. Sure, they're dark, brooding and moody but a heightened sense of passion does not a good honourable man make (ie. Rochester).

Here is my list :
1. Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird)
2. Mr Darcy *swoon* (Both Pride and Prejudice and Bridget Jones')
3. Aragorn (Lord of the Rings trilogy)
4. Odysseus (self-titled) and Hector (The Iliad)
5. Levin (Anna Karenina)

There are a few honorary mentions as well: Sirius Black, the tall dark handsome boys from SVH, Holden Caulfield, Noah Coulhan. Also, all the heroes from Louis Cha's novels (although, they're about as one-dimensional and unrealistic as you can get!)
