OMG, I concur. "Rhett...oh Rhett.." LOL. The book was far better than the movie.

As for my vote, I'd get it on with Jamie Fraser from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander. You could also find me unlacing the britches of Fitzwilliam Darcy (Pride & Prejudice), John Knightly (Emma), and lest we forget...Colonel Brandon (from Sense & Sensibility). All very strong men with a weakness for women. I dunno how, but Jane Austen managed to make the leading men in her novels sooo sexy, without even a mention of their...manliness.

Hmmmm...I guess I'd want it to be with a man like Kostya Levin in Anna Karenina. He was thoughtful, kind, sensitive, spiritual, flawed but completely devoted to the idea of romance and to top it all off he had money too!

Really? Sonya? I think If I were a guy I'd prefer her long suffering mother to Sonya but I'd prefer Dunya to either of them.

I found David Copperfield's tedious sentimentality very boring.

What about whatsname from Joyce's Ulysses? Molly Bloom. Could be lots of fun.

Or the prostitute heroine from Crime and Punishment? Sonya.

I agree with Tess.
