Perhaps instead of turning down your nose at those of us who love romance heroes and vampires, you should nominate your favorite male book character and see how many votes 'he' generates. Just a thought! :)

Well said Shawna. If you haven't read the books or don't like the choices available, add to the list. That's what I did! It's a very simple process ...

Best male character in a classic? I like that idea! Even the classics have a happy ending. =)

Very true Tammy! I added a couple to the list that are non-romance, like Lonesome Dove because Augustus 'Gus' McCrae is one of my favorite male characters, ever!

I love Laura Kinsale's Male characters, they're some of my favorite men from Romance novels EVAH. Her Green Knight, for example or her Hawaiian ninja dude from The Shadow and the Star... The Prince of Midnight. That woman can write a man to love...

Edward Cullen makes me feel ill. I would have slapped him in the face and told him to take a midol. Lord, he irritates me.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgeson as a character in Alice I have Been is one of the most interesting. Not the best but fascinating.

I don't mind some romance books, (who doesn't have the guilty pleasure of reading about intimacy and sex), but all the vampire books that have started coming out since Twilight are getting to be a bit much. I think it's time for a new fad in the book world. But that's just me.

Agreed, agreed, agreed. I don't even like Mr.Darcy and I don't understand how Edward Cullen beat him. Or how Patch beat Harry Potter. Or how Daniel Grigori is on this list at all. Abusive jerk love interests who say over and over how little they want to do with you? That's what's required to be 'the Best'? *facekeyboard*
