no way it is silly to have a crush on somebody in books because most of the time those people can be in real life, for instance if there is a book on the movie lotr several people would have a crush on legolas (sry for my long speech there)

I think it's perfectly fine to have a crush on a book character, I have quite a few in case you're wondering  When my dad read me Lord of the Rings when I was 5ish I had a crush on Legolas
Now I'm wondering why people have crushes on characters?

I think having crush on a character, even if they are acted, is in a whole different category to having a crush on someone you know.
If its a written character, it probably means their personality, and how they are described, appeals to you. I dont really watch cartoons, but I guess it's the same, except you have a vague sort of visual to assist you imagination.
And having a crush on an actor/acted character generally implies you think they're cute.
A crush on someone you know means you like who they are as a whole; you know what they're like in real life, and like it.
So I guess it is okay to have a 'crush' on a character, but remember that they are just part of someone else's imagination, and don't let yourself get out of touch with the world.

Most definately thinks it's perfectly okay. I hate to admit it, but my book crush (my only book/fictional character crush) was/is Sirius Black from the Harry Potter books. Definately not the actor Gary Oldman, though I love him all the same. When I first started reading Harry Potter (basically when the first came out) and we were first introduced to Sirius, I was strangely attracted. When he was killed (hope I didn't spoil that for anyone who hasn't read book 5), I couldn't believe it. I had to stop reading for hours...and then I started weeping. I've NEVER done that while reading a book. Ever. I was depressed for such a long time. I just couldn't believe it.
Okay, so I take back that he's my only book crush...because now that I think about it, Tom Riddle (from Harry Potter -- duh) could be considered one. I'm not sure if you'd consider it a crush per say though. I'm just utterly fascinated by him.
So, Sirius Black crush? Yes
Tom Riddle crush? Um...not to sure...if you consider utter fascination then yes.  Ha ha ha. Those are my only book/fictional character crushes. Yay!

^ Amen. I think you got it. BUT, the reason why I get crushes on guys in cartoon if they are really sweet. (You can tell by looking at the guy in my sig) Really, looks don't all that matter to me.

getting a crush on a fictional character is very common. I think i would be easier to handle your 'emotions' about them and you wouldn't have to "tell-them-how-you-feel" since they don't exist!

I like sweet guys like Ashi-taka From Princess Mononoke. And Samwise Gamgee. Rosie is SO lucky.

I voted that it could get a little out of hand, but I've had a crush on a fictional character. There's nothing weird about it, when you read a well written book, you feel like you know the characters.
