Goodreads asked Tentatively, A Convenience:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Tentatively, A Convenience Dashiell Hammett's Nick & Nora Charles. This question stimulated such an immediate answer that I find it somewhat suspect. I feel like I should be going for a wittier, more surprising result.. but, no, I'm going to be very straightforward here. I'm a flaming heterosexual. A couple who have witty banter all day long, who have a fun life (I don't recall explicit sex in Hammett but there's plenty of it in my fiction), & who get into adventures together that they ultimately escape unscathed from is ideal. They're also fictional. Still, my own life could be said to've been stranger than fiction on many an occasion so.. who knows?
