J. Michael Jones Wow, that's a hard one. I would want some place that was magical and where real problems (like the cancer I'm dealing with right now) can be solved. Maybe, Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (byF. Scott Fitzgerald), where I would grow younger and more healthier as time passed.
J. Michael Jones I have read 30 books since April. Most of them novels. I prefer the more poetic novels, such as Night Boat to Tangier, Odd Child Out, House of Deep Water, The Woman Upstairs, Edge of the Orchard, Swamplandia. I have also read best selling thrillers to see how they do it. I will not list them here because they were all duds, but by wealthy and very successful writers.
