Goodreads asked Angelo Marcos:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Angelo Marcos It's got to be Myron Bolitar and Win (or Windsor Horne Lockwood the third, to be precise).

I love Harlan Coben's books for a number of reasons, but the conversations - and general sarcasm - between these two characters are always a highlight.

For example:

'"Hello?"
"Win?"
"Who is this?"
"Myron."
"Myron Bolitar?"
"How many other Myrons do you know?"
"Myron Bolitar?"
"No, Myron Rockefeller."
"Something's wrong," Win said.
"What?"
"Terribly wrong."
"What are you talking about?"
"Some asshole is calling me at seven in the morning pretending to be my best friend."'

Or, another example:

'Win’s phone rang. He picked it up and said, “Articulate. Okay, put it through.”
Two seconds later he handed the phone to Myron.
“For me?” Myron asked.
Win gave him flat eyes.
“No,” he said. “I’m handing you the phone because it’s too heavy for me.”'

Trust me, if you haven't read any Myron Bolitar books, you should start...!
