If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Not even in the m…moreI would visit Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionovar. Not at the beginning, when evil is stirring and it isn't clear who is good and who is not. Not even in the middle, when people do extraordinary things and make you believe in the inherent goodness of people. I would like to visit at the end, when things are still raw because there were tragic losses and impossible choices, but there is the hope of a new age where evil has been defeated.

I would visit for the chance to build a Utopia, in a world that functions as a Platonic form for our own.(less)

Another writer once told me that she sets a timer for 25 minutes, then takes a 5 minute break before doing another 30 minutes. It seemed worth a try, and I have found that once I'm sitting at my desk the ideas will start to flow - you just need something to get you started.(less)

This is a dense and deeply informative book. I thoroughly enjoyed the material, but I found that the mid-stream insertions of references to specific sites and cultures was jarring. In the audiobook, this interrupted the natural flow of the book, and ...more

I read this book as a stand alone, and found that the author provided a good summary of his previous book. The theory of generational 'turnings' within the span of a single long lifetime was compelling, although I felt that some 'turnings' were shoeh ...more
