MODERATORS
Besides cheating and choosing a Star Trek novel, I can think of several.
Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl might not be a bad one. Almost no matter who I chose, I'd have a comfortable life style.
Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn would be miserable to live in, but if I was a character with allomancy, that might be acceptable.
NOT The Bible.
God, or Twilight, I haven't seen the movies but I'm sure that's the worst possible option.
You wanna be Bella Swan, the teenage girl with depersonalisation disorder or Edward Cullen, the predatory 104 year old vampire?
The vampires in Twilight are described as have unique powers. Edward is a mind reader.
- He is attracted to a teenager whom he tries to stay away from at all times.
- Bella has no thoughts. Edward is never able to sense a single thought from her.
- Midnight Sun, the latest book, is set during the first book, which is about Edward’s period which he ran away from Forks, Washington (the setting).
- Are you sure you want something associated with 50 Shades of Grey? That book series is Twilight fan fiction. Even the movie adaptation of the first book goes as far as to copy fscenes from the first Twilight movie.
- Oh and one of the characters is a werewolf who is supernaturally destined to fall in love with Bella’s unborn child.
EDIT: I have thoughts about Twilight, none of them good.
If it it was based on a book I happened to bring along for entertainment, there's a good chance it would a John Scalzi novel, which means it could be "Redshirts", and that would be pretty surreal.
Or some Ninja Turtles comics.
Sort sort of isekai. Give me an entire fantasy world and magical powers to level up.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and i gotta play Hunters part. If I'm gonna be stuck there then I'm gonna be high as fuck.
I'm not sure you too away from that story what you should have.
Did you raid my drug box?
I think I'll go with Narnia. It wouldn't be boring.
Hard to say, most of my books are historical fiction, which would be horrible-living with a huge conflict during times of war and strife, or science fiction, which would be horrible for the same reasons.
But I guess I would choose Spider Robinsons The Callahan Chronicles (Cross Time Saloon) because it's a few good stories, where the only conflict is personal...and there is plenty of beer.
