Goodreads asked L.A. Fatzinger:

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

L.A. Fatzinger I’d slip into the medieval abbey from Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose,' losing myself in that winding, forbidden library the monks have guarded for centuries. I’d sift through every crumb of hidden manuscripts, stained with stories and secrets so old and rich that it would provide a lifetime of inspiration and knowledge.

Otherwise, I'd love to be sent back to 15th century Venice in the way Michelle Lovric so beautifully paints the city in 'The Floating Book.' And if I were there, I'd want to help Wendelin von Speyer operate his printing press.
