I cornered myself with the "world from a book" too). I mean if I could choose any place at all, from movies, games, books, tv or comics, I'd probably go with San Mishuno from Sims 4. Once you get over the ghosts and Grim Reaper, it's pretty safe out there. Even though I'm a fan of Arcadia and Stark from Dreamfall, I'd like to have a place on Coruscant, I'd love to visit Wakanda for sure, and Shi'ar. But still, those places are messy).

You're a writer too! This is amazing :)
I'd love to give your story a read!) I mean it's one thing to get to know people via questionaries, but it's a whole other deal to do it through a book!

Ugh Draco - I did not like that kid. Would smack him for sure.

There it is!

1. An easy pick would be Dostoevsky, everyone knows him. But I’ll go ahead and name “Snowstorm” by Pushkin. For many reasons: the story, the music by G.Sviridov (which I recommend to anyone who would ever consider listening - Troika is my favorite), the strange and confusing tale that it is.

2. Ah, my favorite one: Meursault (“Stranger”) because sometimes I lack compassion and go into a full watcher mode. Another one is Amy March — remember how shallow and obsessed with her flat nose she was? Well I do that from time to time. And on bad days I relate to the Hulk, because smash.

3. I’d like to live in the City which ironically was our own creation, and it is everything that I’d love to see around me. Believe me, I’m all about Earth-616 and Galaxy far far away but I also admire life way too much to run around with superheroes or the sith.

4. I have a soft spot for 20-s, yet I wouldn’t dare stick my nose there — too much drama. When I was a kid though, and read all things fantasy, I always thought “If I was the hero in *insert any book* I’d just refuse the quest and stay home where my life is calm”. Can you imagine “The Hobbit” starring me? “Nah, thanks, I’m good here”. I also hated Scarlett O’Hara’s actions, still pissed about “The good wives”, and don’t understand why Anne had to be such an itch. So if I was in their skin at least for a day, I’d go ahead and make things right!)

5. Oh that would be miss O’Hara indeed.

6. Okay, tough one. “Through Oblivion” by In Flames. Because “I dare to believe that I have wings”. : ) But that’s today. Tomorrow it could be anything else!)

Thanks for answering, Tim, that's very interesting, and aren't we all a bit like Arthur?).
I mean "I don't know, I didn't listen!" :D that quote alone explains so much for me.
And detectives - I was so into them in middle school! I still like them, but the closest thing to a detective story I've read recently (in the last decade) was "The Crew" by Dougie Brimson. Yet just the other week we discussed the possibility of writing a detective story with my friend, and agreed that it's twice as hard as writing anything else, because as soon as you work out the details you're over the story. That's the big dilemma).
Anyway, I'm still working on mine, because well, I've spent most of my life asking questions, and when I have to answer them I just get lost in possibilities)!

Great to see new faces! Hey guys, first of all let's get to know each other!
And, since I know how hard it is to "tell about yourself", let's do book questions :)
1. Your favorite book by an author from your place of living;
2. Three characters you can relate to the most (and why);
3. A fictional world you'd move to tomorrow if you could.
4. Which character's life would you like to live (you don't have to do exactly what they did, you are free to make your own choices)?
5. Which character you hate so much you want to smack them with a book? (Not judging choices here, just interested).
6. Soundtrack to the book that is your life.

I hope you have fun answering these ;) and nice to meet you all!

Both of those were favorites at certain points of time in my life as well! The Dragonlance books focusing on ..."

Who doesn't like a messed up character?) At some point I stopped enjoying fantasy as much, but these still have created an atmosphere inside my mind, and occasionally I remember them with all the best emotions). The original characters in Dragonlance were the best anyways).

Btw, feel free to add photos of books. Cats and whatnot to the group."

I got two cats :D And I'm not afraid to use them)
Can we create topics here?)

Audrey wrote: "Hi polina thanks for leavinf out the series that must not be named."

I try to follow the rules :D
It's really hard to pick just one book though) It's truly one of the hardest questions ever). By the way, why is "The hate U give" your favorite?

Oh and Douglas Adams - yes yeas yes! One of the best ever hilarious, wise, and 42).

First of all, thank you for inviting me, Audrey! I'm glad to be a part of this group, and I absolutely love the name!)
I also have many favorite books, from Tw... (oh wait, I just saw the rules :D) From my literary guide "The Sound and the Fury", and "Stranger" by Camus, to "How to Kill a Rockstar" (which holds a special place in my heart to this day).
There were "Dune", "Dragonlance"... oh it all depends on time really). And there are always comic books!)
