I recently finished 49 wonderful hours of listening to Gone with the Wind--my first read too. After all that time I feel that I got to know the real Rhett Butler--not the one from the movie, either! Book Rhett is soooooo much better. A real bad boy with a soft heart for a special lady. I would love to see what he could show me in New Orleans--a place I've always dreamed of going to. It certainly was a great place for Scarlet, so why not me? I’m reading with the Mineola Memorial Library Reading Team.

LOL. My real crush, and this embarrasses me so much, is Father Ralph from The Thornbirds. I know!!! What's wrong with me?!? I think it's some sick, you love me and I love you triangle, but can't have you that has me crushing on him. Might this stupid neurosis explain much in my love life? Yea, I'm sure.

So many options. First, Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. Seriously, who can resist Mr. Darcy and all his properness, not to mention his English accent. Swoon. Next, Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. He's so sweet, caring, charming, and devoted. You know what? He's tied for first place. Can't forget Curran from the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. OK, he's just plain sexy, and fierce. He makes me weak in the knees. My head’s spinning. So many options.

He's cocky, funny, hot, rich, loveable, caring and so much more! Everytime I read that book I smile I get swooshed of my feet even though he's chasing Daisy I think it's me he secretly wants .. .

Or, and this one's an all-time favourite, Feanor from the Silmarillion, /the/ (smoking hot!) elven Renaissance man. Now if we could just ignore a) the fact that he's married and b) all the oath-and-kinslaying business... yeah.

This is assuming that when I'm running away with him, he's no 16. Because if he is, that's just creepy. But he's a laugh. What can I say? Runner up is Marcus Flutie (Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty) because he made me forget Edward Cullen. Also this haiku: Furious flutter Awakened Hummingbird Heart Hello hello Love.
