The Jeeves and Wooster Series! I want to be Bertie, with a Jeeves to watch over me.
I’ll pick the Chronicles of Amber. If I strike up a friendship with the Princes, they could, from Amber, take me to *any* shadow or world of my desire.
Pissing them off, or dodging armies of Chaos, though, might be a downside…
Look to Windward, to be boring. The Culture is a post-scarcity utopia for the overwhelming majority of its citizens.
That’s hard, most of the books I like tend to be really harsh to the major characters (those that survive the books at all).
Either Harry Potter – Goblet of Fire: Minimal chance of getting killed, the worlds not turned all dark and twisty yet.
or any of Neal Ashers work (first step get myself backed up).
Guess! OK, I know you did… Lymond. I guess I’d have to be a man to have any fun but I’d give it a go as a woman.
