Have you ever, I don't know how to put this, fallen in love with someone in a book? My language teacher was having a discussion about reading and such, and said she was actually attracted to the character in the book. Has this secret love ever come upon you?

I guess I have thought about admiring certain qualities in the fiction character, thinking about how a real person with those same qualities might feel. But I never actually got that close to anyone in a book.
It is kind of like watching a movie - sometimes you might root or pull for a certain outcome, but I see it only as entertainment (or history, if it is the case) - nothing more.

Hum...honestly, I can't say I've actually fallen *in love* with a book character, but I can say that there are a few that have become friends. I particualrly enjoy reading 'series' books. Where there is a continuing character, or characters that you can get to know in reading different books.
I look forward to the next one, where I can peek into their lives and see whats been going on since last we met... in the last book.

Yeah, sure. I mean, I think LOVE is putting it a little strongly, but I've had crushes on fictional characters before. Mr. Darcy, Mr. Rochester, Howl from Howl's Moving Castle, and Dream from The Sandman. It's pretty normal. A lot of people I know have had crushes on fictional characters. It's no weirder then having a crush on a celebrity. In fact, I think it actually makes more sense to have a crush on a fictional character than a celebrity, since you know in depth the personality of your fictional crush, while most people have no idea what kind of people their celebrity crushes really are.

LOL- actually, yes. There are guys that I read about- even in fiction books- that I felt i had a strong connection with and knew that if they were real people, i would probably fall in love with.

You've apparently not been around any Jane Austen fans. Most of us are in love with Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.

yes suprisingly, its like when you fall in love w/ a celeb you know you cant ever touch them but you still love them. someone is still able to fall in love with a personality
