It’s another Road Trip Wednesday hosted by the ladies over at YA Highway. Todays’ question is:
If you could live within the universe of one book, which would you choose?
Can someone say Harry Potter? I know, me and millions of other people. But I chose to be honest, and I’ve wanted to join this universe since I was twelve and not just for the magic, but for the characters and the world. How cool would it have been to hang out with the Weasley twins, or to fly a broom stick? I’m afraid of heights so the broom stick flying probably wouldn’t have gone over so well for me, but still F*ckin awesome. See it was so awesome an expletive was the only way to explain the awesomeness. That’s how you know it’s awesome. And I already know Professor Lupin so would have been my teacher crush. (Yes I had those. One on my English teacher and the other on my math. Did I mention I was a nerd in high school?)
Anyway, that is the world I would choose. Now if we were including manga, which is just as awesome, my answer may be different. I just may have to step into Naruto’s world. I mean I do like to kick some A** every now and again. That’s why my b/f is a MMA fighter, so he can handle my resengan when I throw down. Yeah that’s right, I can form swirling balls of massive energy just with my hands. Are you scared now?
And now that I’ve exposed entirely too much of myself, I’m going to go find my pencil, while you tell me which universe you’d choose in the comments below.
The broomstick actually sounds like a painful ride, but I’d love to have my dishes done with a wand flick.
Great post!
Yeah, I’d totally join you at Hogwarts. In fact, the first movie came out when I was a first year in med school. My friends and I went on opening night and when the movie was over, we ALL wished we were first years at Hogwarts instead of NYMC, LOL!
Nice post!
If it’s okay to use Expanded Universe novels as a way in, then I’d have to say I’d prefer to be in the Star Wars universe. Why? It is the only place where wizards get to duel with meter-long laser blades, where little green frog-men with pointy ears and bad grammar will totally kick your ass, and where the power of love can bring even a monster like Darth Vader back to the light.
I think one of the reason the Narnia books were my favorite as a kid was because I wanted to live in *that* world. I wanted to have Aslan as a friend and hang around with talking animals. How cool would that be? 🙂
