| Jack London |
When I saw this picture of Jack London over at
Thomas' blog, My Porch earlier this week, I couldn't help but notice just how handsome Jack London was.
So I thought it might be fun to ask who you think the most handsome classic American novelist was. For my purposes here to be considered a "classic author" one must be dead at least two decades and still in print. That's a good enough random definition for today. I'm limiting this to American authors just to keep things under control for today.
What do you think? I've found five nominees. If you'd like to suggest another, please do so. I'll find a picture and add them to this post.

OK I have spent more time than I should looking around on the Internet with this one! And I really can't come up with anyone offhand that is better than these listed. I'm voting for Jack London!
The young Ernest Hemingway gets my vote!
Oof. It's a tie between London and Richard Wright for me.
I haven't been able to find anyone to add to the list either. I did think of the young Mark Twain, but that moustache loses him major points. I'd have to vote for the young Hemingway too.
I'm not a fan of his, and I don't know how "classic" he is, but Kerouac wasn't bad looking in his youth.
I have always had a crush on Jack London, even before reading anything he wrote.
Oh my goodness! I never realized that Jack London was a looker!

When I look at Jack London, I can see what he must have looked like as kid. :-) Steinbeck is the hottest. It might be because he's my favorite.
Too funny! Of those, I'd vote for Richard White and Jack Kerouac.
I vote for Steinbeck. He looks tall and like he knows what he wants.
London KNEW he was hot, too! In Martin Eden, the title character describes his handsome face for several paragraphs. While I was reading, I had a pic of London up on the computer. Martin Eden = Jack London.
I'm a Steinbeck girl, myself. I also think Dashiell Hammet was good looking too with his boyish face and that white hair.
