Goodreads asked Spencer Steeves:

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

Spencer Steeves This is a question I ask myself a lot, and though I have seen many different worlds, there are few I would choose to visit. The Forgotten Realms is far too deadly, the number of times a year they face incursions from primeval gods or otherworldly entities makes it a hard sell. The collected lands from David Edding's stories often seem a bit drab and full of fear as well, so not my ideal place. I think Valdemar could be nice, depending on if I could choose my social status. I would enjoy being a Herald in Training, but I have no desire to work as a slave in the gem mines like Mags did. I suppose if I could choose Roland from Elizabeth Haydon's Symphony of Ages, preferably after the end of the story, where the world is constantly on the brink of war, I would accept a place such as that. The architecture is notably beautiful, and the characters in that world are undeniably interesting. I would likely take up a career as a wanderer, like Ven Polypheme, and pen a journal about my discoveries, and how the world has changed a few thousand years after his adventures.
