This week’s thought-inspiring meme:
Are there any particular worlds in books where you’d like to live?
Or where you certainly would NOT want to live?
What about authors? If you were a character, who would you trust to write your life?
Hmmm…this is a tricky one.
Realistically, I don’t think I would actually like to inhabit any of my book worlds. I love to visit every once in a while, but the beauty of books, for me, is being able to experience things and places like Middle Earth and Africa and the 19th Century without all the muck. Maybe that’s the sissy answer, but it’s mine.
As for as an appropriate biographer, I might trust Doris Kearns Goodwin or David McCollough for a realistic touch or, perhaps, Leif Enger or Michael Ondaatje for a more creative feel. (But really, let’s face it, a book about my life would be a dud in anyone’s hands.)

I would totally read a book about your life. Maybe wait until after your cruise though.
I am your sister sissy!
I’ll rather inhabit in a bookstore full of my favorite books. :)
Jess, you are such an accomplished and interesting lady, and your site it great! Keep it up. :)
I would want Evelyn Waugh to write my life as a book. Because it would just go on and on and on and on and on, and the book would probably be optioned into a movie and even if it wasn’t a terrific script, actors I like would probably sign on because, well, it’s an Evelyn Waugh novel.
