This is a hard question. Many of my favorite books are in locations and times that are interesting to read about, but you wouldn't want to live there--or visit. It would certainly be a science fiction world in the future. The past can be limited--especially for women. I'm going to go with James H. Schmitz' stories set in the Hub (Federation). And I choose: Agent of Vega. I love the world of the agents and their relationships. (The headquarters of the Department of Galactic Zones is on Jelta in the Vegan system.) I would enjoy exploring the frontier and working to keep it safe. (Btw, the heroine in Agent of Vega is named Pagadan.)

Of course, there's also Miles parents' love story...

Read. Not only books with advice and grammar, etc. refreshers, but books in your genre so you don't repeat what's been done too long.
