I had a lot of fun thinking about the following: if a famous fantasy (let's say Lord of The Rings) was written and actively read on Roshar, would we have Frodo, Gandalf and etc. spren appear? 

We know that spren, according to Jasnah, are "the ideas of collective human experience - somehow come alive".

Considering that millions of people have read and imagined the details of the book, would it be enough for them to manifest as spren? Just imagine reading your favorite book and having a corresponding spren appear in front of you, drawn by your thoughts and emotions! Could be quite a reading experience! 

P.S. I would certainly love it if Cosmere characters spren appeared in my room while I am reading :)

I doubt it. Otherwise, we would see manifestations of say, the Sunmaker or Extes. Spren seem to be more of natural forces, emotion, and ideals. Not actual people. 

Unlike in the Iron Druid Chronicles, I don't think belief or knowledge of a fictional character would be enough to make it manifest.
