in Memes & Miscellany

Today’s meme is taken from one of Literary Feline‘s contests:

“Name a favorite literary couple and tell me why they are a favorite. If you cannot choose just one, that is okay too. Name as many as you like – sometimes narrowing down a list can be extremely difficult and painful. Or maybe that’s just me.”

Now, I’m not much of a romantic, but when I want to read about romance I head straight for Pride and Prejudice. Yep, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. I love their story – written or acted. :)

I’m having a hard time coming up with other examples. A lot of the more modern literary fiction focuses on love stories gone bad. I’ll just have to submit that one.

Which literary couple is your favorite?

That seems to be the popular answer, but I chose another couple.

I have the feeling that you’re not much into romance story so I’m very surprised you’ve have Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, Jessica! But I agree that Pride and Prejudice is well-written.

Tyler Durden and Marla Singer. If that’s not a modern romance, what is?

Dare I say Bella and Edward. (I know, I know, I should be ashamed!)
