Goodreads asked Jerry Kirkpatrick:

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

Jerry Kirkpatrick Botswana. I don't read much fiction now but I will watch mysteries on television with my wife. A few years ago, we watched "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," set in Botswana and based on the writing of Alexander McCall Smith. The country intrigued me because it appeared to be fairly developed. After checking a few ranking websites, I found that Botswana indeed is free-market oriented and is one of the more prosperous countries in Africa, competitive with South Africa. That entices me to visit.
