If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Bernard Jan
That is a bit tricky question because I know for sure where I wouldn't go.
Whilst I wouldn't go to a fictional world where the wars are raging and big battles are fought for salvation of mankind (sorry, I have such news enough in the real world), I would go to a fictional world where I could help an individual. To help correct injustice, to help the protagonist deal with his issues or to save someone (like Michael in my in English unpublished novel Cruel Summer or a harp seal pup Danny in my novella Look For Me Under the Rainbow; just to name those closest to me).
From some unknown reason I am also attracted to vampire stories (maybe because some authors romanticize them too much), alien stories where aliens are not our enemies but friends (which is my perception of the worlds outside our galaxy), stories which give me the opportunity to explore and try something new. But no wizardry, fighting dragons, mass destruction.
I would opt to travel to a fictional book world where I could do a positive impact on an individual and his world on a smaller scale, make small waves which may turn into something bigger with time, even at the cost of my own life if necessary. Looks I cannot go against myself even in the fictional world, haha! 😄

David Duchovny is not only a great actor, but a funny guy to boot. I liked "Holy Cow." Did you know he sings as well? "Hell or Highwater" is his album. As for reading, I'm delving into a lot of thrillers and mysteries this year, my favorite choice of literary escapisms. Karin Fossum, Joy Fielding, Paula Hawkins, and John Connolly, just to name a few authors.
