Idiots

Ann Aguirre has a great post today In praise of the idiot. I totally get where she’s coming from, because I’ve always loved reading about guys who are cute but dim. (Conversely, I also love me some nerds, but that’s a whole other post.) I went through this phase a couple of years ago where I got really into Bonanza reruns, and I realized that my favorite Cartwright brother was Hoss, the slightly dim but good-hearted one.

Also, I clearly need to read more Loretta Chase, given that I had to reread Lord of Scoundrels for a paper I wrote for one of my classes, which made me realize just how awesome that book is.
