The topic of the day is... you enter the world of your favorite book.

1) How well do you fare? 2) Which character resonates with you? 3) If applicable, would you prefer to stay in the fictional world or the real world?

Really enjoyed "The Doomsday book" by Connie Willis. Using time traveling shenanigans, main character gets sent back to the year the plague hit England.

I probably would not survive as already immuno compromised.

Character that resonates with me is the priest as I am judged on looks all the time.

Prefer real world, i think. Would miss internet too much.

What impressed me most about the book was she researched for five years before writing any of it. Now that is dedication.

Hi. You just mentioned Doomsday Book by Connie Willis.

I've found an audiobook of that novel on YouTube. You can listen to it here:
