to be a character in a novel but I would have loved to have been, Aphra Behn, She was a 17th century adventurer,traveller,spy and a prolific writer writing poetry,plays and novels. She was a friend of John Dryden and her work often caused a scandal due to homo erotic themes Aphra was one of the first English women to be able to make a living as a writer. Her tombstone says.... ''Here lies proof that wit can never be,proof against mortality''.

She's my favourite author; she writes beautifully. The death scenes make me giggle. Claudia makes me smile. Lestat turns me on. I belong in that era and I want to "live" through the ages.

Quoting 'ding26'"Little women" have always loved the strength of Jo.......... " That would mean you lived in a book where your sister dies of Scarlett fever? Is that worth it? My problem is that most books I love are filled with drama and doom, or are set in places I wouldn't want to live in. Animal farm, The Hunger Games, The Shining... Just a few favourites that would be hell to live through. I think I'll have to go with being an elf in Lord of the Rings. Or Winnie the Pooh, books where you still find peace and real friendships.

Ooh. How much you could give away with a careless answer!Being one of the characters would be hard, because their decisions are already made for them. Being a bystander is easier.A bystander in Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh, because being one of the frivolous, amoral, dandies and flappers of the 20s in London would be fun. Cannot see why anyone would bother to repeat the experiment with F Scott Fitzgerald.Smiley, the deadly inconspicuous grey spymaster in the Le Carre series would be good, especially cos I could have Bill Haydon the traitor shot before he banged my wife the lovely erotic aristocrat Lady Ann, and I could change my tailor and get a personal trainer and buy a few sex manuals and become the man she wanted and give her the righteous shagging she clearly wanted and everybody would be happy.Anyone in the Iain M Banks' 'Culture' SF series, a universe without scarcity where technology allowed you to retract and grow different sexual organs, try them out, grow the old ones back, antigravity sex, ferocious interplanetary wars, you name it. A bloke in Stella Rimington's Liz Carlyle series so that the luscious and clever female spy Liz Carlyle could hold the Glock at my head and have her way with me. I could explain Glock not necessary. Then we could save the world together. With no clothes on. (Stella Rimington first female head of MI5 and a wonderful English women who smashed the toughest glass ceiling in the world. She now writes novels.)A survivor in one of Margaret Atwood's dystopias: struggle, survival in a world that has been destroyed, betrayal, terror, lust, remorse and sometimes true love in a disasterscape. And speaking in Atwood's sentences where every word has been polished until it glows like a gem.A vamp, probably Bill Compton, in Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series (made into a not so good tv series); I could bang the ohmygod barperson with second sight Sookie, wage war against bad trolls, live forever, and ... what was I saying? Oh yes bang Sookie. Eeyor the donkey in Winnie the Pooh because everyone kind of likes him and he's hung like a donkey.

I have started this book........ but I am finding it hard to get into it. Too much talking!!!!!! Fuck me already will ya!I would definitely live in a Harry Potter book, I love fantasy and magic and magically creatures and having adventures all the time, where life is never boring. Oh and to be able to travel through the magical chute to any time and place.... that would be bloody awesome. I would love to travel back in time and meet Cleopatra, attend a Roman orgy, speak to Catherine the Great to ask if she really did fuck horses, to live with the last Tzar of Russia to see if Anastasia really did escape, ...... that would be the ultimate! And them I would also have to have the debauchery element as well. So "Forbidden Reading" by Lissette Ashdon. Pure filth!

Quoting 'Meeka100' I would love to travel back in time and meet Cleopatra, attend a Roman orgy That must be my favourite era! Honky, I almost said non-fictional in my OP, but good one. And a decent book, too. RIP Iain Banks by the way. Too soon and too quick. (I just realised, No-one has said The Bible yet)

Be the damsel in distress in any romance novel, providing the hero of the day was tall, dark, handsome and just a bit ruthless. It would have to have one of those soft porn scenes where he took me 'against my will' because he knew it was what I really wanted. Can of worms right there, but a lot of people will get what I mean. As a child, and still now, I'd have given anything to be one of the characters in Enid Blyton's many books - adventure, bravery, fantasy, friendship, fun, all things magical. And there's a Golden Book called The Twelve Dancing Princesses - like me they're all 'good and proper' on the outside, but are secretly very naughty :) Harry Potter books rock my world - I'd be content just to hang out in Daigon Alley watching all the goings on. Books, love them!

Good novel based on a true story for the Roman era 100BC- 100AD is Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran. She was taken from Cairo and taken to Rome as a child when Octavian defeated Cleopatra and Marc Antony. I see she has other books on other interesting female characters, I am keen to read more.

A born again virgin that found rhp I just write about here, :) who wants to be in it when they make the movie TR and other tall tales from RHP other than that, I read so much that my choices would change every day. Though I do belly dance( or used to I should say). When I was around 13 I read this bodice ripper called for every amber. So that highway man stuff and a roll in the hay. Or even Lonesome Dove out there on the range with all those horny cowboys

Doubles on Iain Banks. I thought the bible too; not sure which fictional character to be: jesus or Mary Magdalene the working girl to whom jesus was nice. Or any of the old testament peeps who couldn't stop begatting. I suspect th most interesting and likeable, really, was satan. M 62

Starts with some rebellion followed by adventure, travel to amazing and faraway places, challenges and meeting new people, learning about yourself and how to face your fears and when you think all is lost and your world is crumbling around you a simple wish can begin to make the world a better place.And who wouldn't want a luck dragon to help wreak vengeance on all your enemies.

Because I mainly read detective and horror stories/novels, so I don't want to be in any of those novels that I have read so far.- Posted from rhpmobile

...Definitely Lord of the Rings and a trek across Middle Earth.... A trip to Lothlorian and I'd try my luck with Lady Galadriel ;-)

Were I not already living in a personal hell that was not so dissimilar from his own. Or perhaps the bible. Now there's a harmless piece of fiction!

As I love nothing better than escaping between the pages of a good book and there are so many choices. Right now I'd choose to be Daenerys Targaryen from Ge Of Thrones. Loved the 6 books and I'm eagerly awaiting the 7th- Posted from rhpmobile
