I have trouble finding fictional characters sexy. However, if forced to choose one, I'd go with Nastasya Filippovna from The Idiot. Mmm... tormented.
I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

First thing that comes to mind is Margarita from The Master and Margarita. Gotta love naked nighttime flying over Russia.

I like Diablo Cody's wit in her memoir. THat's as close as it gets for literature I guess.
Yeah, I pretty much fell in love with Sarah Vowell through her writing, but I can't think of a literary character that I've found particularly sexy.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
Not that I wouldn't be open to such a thing. You hear that, fictitious ladies?
She has the sexiest name of any female character, too.
I only find people sexy if they could've stepped from a novel. Preferably gothic. :P
I've always kinda had a thing for Avril Incandenza from Infinite Jest. mmm, agoraphobia.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
as answered before, my one and only literature lust is the trial's leni. i don't know why, but i always picture her in a kinky hentai sorta costume. yummy!

Yup, Heathcliff is so many levels of hot. Also Phillip Marlowe.

On a non-gothic, non-sexy note, have you read the German Romantics? I highly recommend The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe. Its style might be a bit more restrained than what you like, but it pretty much epitomizes the Romantic ideal of unrequited love.

I read it. *nods*
I wanna be Bettina Brentano.

I had a professor with the name Bettina. I'd always wondered where it came from.

"Criticism can be monumentally creative, of course, at times highly artistic, highly personal. But it rarely relates to the work of art being assessed. It is an expression of the critic's own subjectivity." -Joyce Carol Oates, Journals
That's an awesome link. I had never even heard of her before. She seems like she was made to be your hero (or made herself to be). "My soul is a passionate dancer," indeed.
Have you read Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship? I'm wondering if I should read more Goethe.
