I love reading about lots of different worlds - Westeros, Deverry, Randland, Pern (more so when I was a teenager) et al - but I'm not sure I'd like to live in them. I think I'd like to live in Lyra's Oxford (Golden Compass) and have my own daemon.Booksnhorsesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-42818207057398439902011-06-11T05:53:24.258+00:002011-06-11T05:53:24.258+00:00"Where I'd like to live" and "w..."Where I'd like to live" and "which fantasy world do i think is the best are quite distinct.

I've picked up an inkling of a few of your favorite series, but because everyone loves lists, it would be very cool to see you write an article of your top 10 favorite fantasy series or books or authors. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-90628622151870618102011-06-10T11:12:47.562+00:002011-06-10T11:12:47.562+00:00Having just read Finch I think I can say that Jeff...Having just read Finch I think I can say that Jeff Vandermeer is the right author to be attached to this project.Sci-Fi Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038987149801517138noreply@blogger.com
