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

That's a damned good question! one I really haven't considered much until asked point blank like this. The first thoughts that came to mind upon reading the question, were the Vampire worlds created by Brien Lumley or Anne Rice. The rational part of my brain entertained the romantic west as conjured up by Zane Grey or Louis La'mour. The Lumley and Rice worlds won out. I think maybe the darkness and loneliness of the kind of time faced by our vampire hero's were a little more intriguing, than a smelly cowboy on a dusty horse thinking of some floozy he met somewhere along the trail. Louis was great at telling you where his hero' setting was "Flint" comes to mind, just thinking about it. Zane Grey and "Riders of The Purple Sage" you can picture these places, Louis may have done a better job at actually making you feel like you were there.
In the end I think the Vampire s won out due to the essence of time itself. Both writers take you back in time, to other ages and sometimes other worlds. Rice takes you all the way back to ancient Egypt, where you can actually picture it, and brings you right up to modern day Miami and New Orleans. Lumley takes you to a whole other ancient world, and then deposits you discreetly into modern day London. Both authors keep tabs with the lore and traditions of vampire ways, and at times adding their own take to the myths of the undead. I think the whole concept of time and the way these authors played with it and bent it, is what appealed to me.
I love history and often think how neat it would be, to be that proverbial fly on the wall watching time go by. I'm talking about from the beginning of it all, that part in time where life was introduced, where dinosaurs roamed the Earth, right down to the introduction of man. I tried to convey that in one of my writings from "The Library Days" which was just recently revised and is now available in e-book and print on demand paperback. Anyway there's 2 in that book that kind of deal with my fascination of that concept, one is titled "Life" and the other maybe "This Has All Been Done Before". I will probably write some more on that, as I still can't convey exactly how much that concept intrigues me. We as people get so wrapped up in our little lives, and make mountains out of hills, and our lives are such a tiny part of the sum. That's not to be morbid or negative, just when you look at the scope of life in general. There are things that have been on this Earth much longer than us, but yet we act and think as though we are the end of it all. What if we aren't? what if we're serving up another life form's fossil fuel? If you ever read any of my stuff, they tend to lean toward getting the most out of this life as you can, because we really don't know what lies ahead. Hence my thoughts on the fly on the wall. Thanks R.A (less)
