Ten MORE men who, sadly, are fictional

One of the first blog posts I ever wrote was a list of the Top 10 Men Who, Sadly, Are Fictional. And, amazingly, I still get comments on that post to this day.

So I thought it was high time for a second round and here you have it–ten more men who, sadly, are fictional.

Special Agent Seeley Booth from BONES (the TV show)–He used to be a sniper. Now he works for the FBI. And he isn’t intimidated by super smart women. Plus, he used to date a vampire slayer (sort of), so that’s good enough for me.

Edward Cullen and Jacob Black–I know if I didn’t list them the comments section might literally catch on fire…so there.

Hale. I know you guys haven’t “met” Hale yet, but when the untitled heist book comes out next year, you will. And you’ll agree. I hope.

Michael Weston from BURN NOTICE–His name is Michael Weston. He used to be a spy. He can fix things and take down drug cartels all with stuff pilfered from his mother’s garage. And he’s dreamy. Did I mention that he’s dreamy?

Michael Scofield from Prison Break (aka Hot Michael #2) –he’s a genius engineer who willingly went to prison in order to break his (wrongfully-convicted) brother out. So, in summary, smart + hot + self-sacrificing = a very sadly fictional man!

Butler from the Artemis Fowl books–-he blends into the background in a lot of ways, but when you stop to really think about it, Butler rocks. In fact, I didn’t fully appreciate Butler until discussing him with a group of YA librarians. By the end of the evening I’m pretty sure we were all a little bit in love with him.

Gabriel Allon from Daniel Silva’s wonderful series–Yes, I know. He’s an assassin–which is bad. But he only kills bad people–which is good. And his cover is that he’s one of the world’s foremost art restorers, so…yeah. He totally makes the list. (Please note, guys, that these books are wonderful but that are definitely not YA.)

Peter Bishop from the new show FRINGE–He’s the son of a mad scientist who posed as a professor at MIT, had some shady dealings in the middle east, and has lived a life that is part genius, part gypsy. Plus, I’ve said it before and I guess I’ll say it again: PACEY GOT HOT!

Bruce Wayne--Altruistic billionaire-slash-superhero? Yeah, I think it’s a shame he doesn’t really exist.

Gregory House from HOUSE–yes, he’s a jerk. But if you had an impossible-to-diagnose disease wouldn’t you wish he were real? Yeah, I thought so.
