If you could enter a fictional world, which one would it be and why?
Based on impulse, I immediately thought of Harry Potter but then shied away by the thought of millions of other fans jumping to the exact same response. However, I must not let my hipster-like radar push away a potential answer. Harry Potter and the wizarding world is amazing... from my imagination. I've always loved magic and the like. I would get to play Quidditch, drink butterbeer, visit the Weasley's joke shop (okay, not the same as the one in Orlando, Florida--it's never the same as your imagination <3), most of all, meet all the characters! Oh geez, fangirl coming out. Let's consider other options.
Again, cliche, but The Hunger Games. I understand it's not the best world to live in, but I'd love to see the environment, how our planet's changed from the places to the people. Again, not the same as the movie. I loved the author's depiction of the social setting--the juxtaposition between the filthy rich and the desperate poor, the separation of specifically trained districts. (I think this is the only book where I actually enjoyed the references to government issues.) & the arena. I don't like violence or gore but I'd love to be a bystander there, just watching everybody. Maybe the adventurist in me wishes to take part in the battle too, but most likely, I'll be the first one dead. That's not fun.
Then there's all those romance books like Sarah Dessen and Nicholas Sparks but if I had one chance to visit any fictional world, I wouldn't waste it on living out my perfect romance in some sappy chick flick novel. Pass.
OH OH OH! I've got it! (Thank you, Memory!) My favorite book of all time is "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. Unfortunately, I've forgotten what it's about and why I loved it so much but I remember it being full of adventure and and and... I shall reread it. (I WILL REREAD IT. MARK MY WORD.) Dang... if I choose this one, it'll be unjustified because I've forgotten all my reasons.
Then there's Oz and Wonderland. The vivid quality of the imagery itself makes me want to visit these places. Let alone, there are talking mystical creatures everywhere.
This is actually a really hard question, but I'm going to go with the simplest of them all: Neverland. Because I never have to grow up there. My only job is to have fun. And I can wear all the animal onesies I want.
FIN (for now)
