30 Day Book Challenge - Day 7
I really like todays question, which is:
What fictional character are you (secretly) in love with?
I would have to say Roland Deschain - the main character of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series of books. One of the reasons I love the books so much is that I love Roland. He is such a flawed and tragic hero. He's a strong-willed, stubborn man who has only one purpose in life - that is, to find The Dark Tower. He's handsome (in a rugged, swarthy sort of way), tall, in good shape (as a gunslinger has to be to survive), charming, honest, and loyal to all his friends - and even, to an extent, enemies. He's a man's man - he can hunt, make his own clothes.., and of course always has his deadly guns at hand. He can pretty much do anything. Except say simple, common words in our world like aspirin and tuna fish - it's very endearing.
He is such a great character, and such a great complex personality that you can help but love him, and also feel a bit sorry for him as well, due to his tragic past and everything he has gone through. He just has a real attractiveness to him. I don't know what it is. He's like a pit-bull puppy - something you want to take care of and love, but at the same time something that is unpredictable. A ball of fluffy cuteness (well...) with fangs and claws (or in Roland's case, his guns) that can do lots of damage.
I just read online (don't know how true it is though) that Javier Bardem will be playing Roland in The Dark Tower movies (and TV show? hmmm). He seems like he'd fit the role. He'd need to wear blue contacts though, of course.
