Goodreads asked Bryony Marsh:

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

Bryony Marsh An honourable mention to the worlds of Iain M. Banks’ ‘Culture’ series. (Who wouldn’t be tempted to try life in a post-scarcity economy where you can have anything and be anything you want?) Another to Douglas Adams’ view of the universe in ‘Hitchhiker’, despite the fact that it’s so casually deadly and I’d probably end up on the inside of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

After careful consideration, though, I’ve chosen to emigrate to the Star Kingdom of Manticore in David Weber’s ‘Honorverse’, where I’ll try to make myself useful in some capacity. (Not sure what they’d want me to do, given that I wouldn’t understand any of their modern technology, but they might find a traveller from pre-diaspora times to be interesting, at least.)
