If you could...

Hey everyone. Old member making a comeback. I have Barnes & Nobles as a like on my facebook page, and they had a great question on their status the other day that got me thiking. So, I thought I'd post it here on the Dis to see what responses I'd get. Here it goes: If you could step into the pages of a book, what book would it be?

My answer:
That's a tough one for me because there are so many books I like. My first thought was anyone of the Star Wars books, but then I got to thinking about the Harry Potter books. I just don't know.

The Princess Bride.


Wait, no.




Pride and Prejudice.



Do I have to pick one?

 

[FergieTCat]

Alice in Wonderland (the original one by Lewis Carroll)

Oh, good question, impossible answer but I think I would lean toward Harry Potter as well.

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

so many to choose from, but my first thought is :"Mists of Avalon": my "if you were stuck on a desert island book".

However, I could probably create a list!!!!!

ETA: haven't read HP books - but can understand why they would be a popular choice!

CCT...good to see you back

Tough one for me too...I'm not really a big fan of Star Wars or Harry Potter...I tend to read more history and biographical books...I just finished War by Sebatian Junger and I think spending a day in one page of that book would be very enlightening.

My first reaction is in a Jane Austen novel, as long as I have a decent dowry.

 

[Magix]

Hmmm...that is a tough one. I'd either go with "Harry Potter" or "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

Thanks, Mayor.

I like history as well, and while I don't read pure history books (I lied, I've read 1776 by David McCullough), I do love a good historical novel. My favorite author is Bernard Cornwell.

 

[PatriciaH]

Harry Potter, Narnia or Alice In Wonderland

 

[dodukes]

Off the top of my head, Ill say harry potter but Im sure if I think long and hard something else comes to mind. It would be so kool to do magical stuff!

 

[rie'smom]

My choice would be one of the Outlander books because I'd love to be able to travel back and forth in time.

 

[Hercules10]

The Joy of Sex

Actually it would be Where the Red Fern Grows and stop him from going on that last hunt!

 

[dejr_8]

Does Playboy count?

 

[golfgal]

Another I would like to visit would be the Jean Auel "Clan of the Cave Bear" series.

 

[plutotek]

First choice would be a Ludlum novel, for the sights and adventure, then the HP novels just as an observer.

 

[Missy1961]

any of the Harry Potter books!

Good to see you, CCT!

This is my favorite book as well but I would not pick it. I have to be in an era where my flatiron works.

I'm having a hard time coming up with an answer that does not transport me back to the pre-flatiron era.

 

[ToTLaugher]

Kingdom Keepers of course! Then I would be in WDW!!!

 

[NMAmy]

It's a toss up for me between Outlander or Jasper Fforde's book, The Eyre Affair which already involves a lot of jumping in and out of books so I wouldn't be the only one doing it and I wouldn't have to just choose one book.

And, hello, Cape Cod Tenor, it's good to see you back!
