Do you ever love a character in a book more than people?

I've been reading some really great books, and loving the male characters, but feeling really disappointed in the men I meet on dating sites. No one compares to Mr. Knightley or Gilbert Blythe or Henry Tilney! 😭

Nope--never. I have found that my true heroes turn out to be actual people whom I have known most of my life.

I like Princess Eilonwy! And Lyra Belacqua.

@JP1119 i am not familiar with those two

@AliceinWonderland Princess Eilonwy is from the Chronicles of Prydain, one of which, [i]The Black Cauldron[/i], was made into an animated Disney movie. Lyra is from His Dark Materials series, which is now a tv series on HBO, and the movie, [i]The Golden Compass[/i] is from that series. I am familiar with Gilbert Blythe but not the other two.

How realist are those characters, really? Would the books sell just as well without the fan service?

Does nobody wonder why [i]Germinal [/i]and [i]The Grapes of Wrath[/i] are nowhere near as popular as [i]Harry Potter[/i] and [i]Pride and Prejudice[/i]?

I think one reason humanity is so collapsed economically (the majority of us still live in gruesome poverty) is because we live in fiction realms too much, and do not try to create the paradise right here.
