Mental Floss's 7 of Literature's Most Desireable Leading Men

Today is Valentine's Day, which I happen to love. I'm a bit crabby today because I've run into too many Valentine's Day haters both online and in person. I don't understand the need to make fun of someone else for enjoying the day. I don't ramble on talking about it to every person I know, and I don't make a big deal of it to the people I'm not celebrating it with so why ridicule it? ANYWAY.

I found this nice little list on the Mental_Floss website and feel compelled to share with you. This list is one Mental_Floss blogger's top seven list of leading men. I was able to guess two of them (#1 and #4). I really want to add the ones I haven't read to my list. (For the record, I've read the first four books. I just didn't agree with 2 and 3.) I wish I knew how to hide part of this post, so you could guess the answers before you say them. Instead, you get a picture of something romantic.

Now, on to the list! On the website, they start with number 1, I'm choosing to go backwards from 7.
7. Enjolras (from Les Misérables by Victor Hugo)
6. George Emerson (from A Room with a View by EM Forster)
5. Edmond Dantes (from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas)
4. Mr. Rochester (from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte)
3. Almanzo Wilder (from Farmer Boy and other books by Laura Ingalls Wilder)
2. Gilbert Blythe (from the Anne of Green Gables series by LM Montgomery)
1. Mr. Darcy (from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen)
How many did you guess?
