Which character from a book would you MARRY?

I feel like there are probably books with him in it now.

Girls do like the baddies.

What if Kylo was played by Kevin James? Would you still be interested?

I know @NerdAlert would be

It’s true I picked the thread title to specifically avoid turning this into a thread about which celebrity you want to have oral sex with.

Ugh, both Luna and Hermione (which I learned to spell bc of how the audiobook narrator says it) would ANNOY ME A LOT, for different reasons. Maybe Ginny. Odd that I have so many opinions on the females.

[Tiffany]

…just oral?

[SredniVashtar]

I picked that one to put an image in everyone’s minds.

[Vorian_Atreides]

Does this interest of yours . . . as expressed within the posts of this thread . . . interest Mr. aj in any fashion?

Asking for a friend.

Instead, it’s the “blind audition of the Voice” rendition of which character(s) you want to want to have oral sex with.

@Ajstudies

both . . . would drive me crazy

I’ve got a song for you . . .

This is actually pretty hard, I think in great part due to major characters generally having to have some flaw or issue to create conflict in the book and to make the book more interesting.

All happy families are something something, but what about Anna Karenina? I’m sure I could do better than that other dude.

I think it doesn’t help that there’s a lack of leading ladies. Even among the female authors, you get a lot of Harry Potters and Hercule Poirots, or else Austin/Bronte types where the ladies are smart and hot and nice but they’re also too busy being marriable to be much else.

[SteveGrondin]

Assuming I were young and marriagable? I don’t know. I’d pretty much have a hard time imagining which would be remotely interested in me.

As far as intellectually stimulating female characters, Irene Adler perhaps?

Oh dear! I don’t think I know what I’ve gotten myself into in this thread…

Jessica Rabbit, of course

OK, I screwed up with the leap from book character to fictional character. I was wrong, and I am not afraid to admit it.

So book character, I’ll just say Danerys Targaryan,

I read a lot of character driven novels and most often the leading character is beautiful/good looking and fit and all that in the Hollywood way and not in the real life way. I’m too old for that. Give me a man who quotes poetry (ha!) and I will call him “Dearest”. Mr aj DOES know of my infatuation with Father Tim (Kavanaugh), but he is not worried. And he has nothing to worry about with Nora Roberts’ men bc they’re not real, of course.

Rhythms and rhymes alone do not make poetry. But nice try.

There is a novel on which the movie is based, so you’re in the clear (not sure if there is a description in the book that fits the movie character.

“I would have been here sooner but I had to shake the weasels.” (Not Jessica, but still one of the best lines in the movie.)
