111 Male Characters Of British Literature, In Order Of Bangability...

...at The Awl. It's a fun one.

Lord Peter at #7! Michael Cantrip at #15! Justin Alastair at #18! Brian de Bois-Guilbert at #25! Sydney Carton at #31! Inspector Alan Grant at #43!

Gussie Fink-Nottle at #106 and Bertie at #87. I dunno. Two things make me think that they should swap places -- for one, obviously, anything involving Bertie is always a huge disaster, and secondly, Gussie can get pretty het up when he's talking about newts.

Or St. John Rivers (#38). Eww.

Or Maxim de Winter (#28). Eww.

Or Peter Pan (#68). Pedo eww.

Or Aslan (#32). Beasty Jesus eww.
