[QUOTE="hazelvandross, post: 2517356, member: 859747"] 1- If I was on a deserted Island and was allowed to have one book/book series with me, I would choose Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series because I reread these books often without feeling bored. The plot is never predictable and the characters are always interesting. 2- I'm not sure any good fictional character should be a role model because in my opinion a flawed fictional character is the most compelling character. Without Odysseus impulsiveness, Oedipus' wrath, or Emma's arrogance none of their novels would have been half as entertaining as they turned out to be. 3- If my role model was an author I would choose Jane Austen because she was prolific and wrote about things that really mattered to her despite what her contemporaries thought. 4- If I could BE any fictional character from a book, I would be Emma Woodhouse because she leads a life of wealth surrounded by friends, family and a wonderful man who loves her. 5- If I had a chance to re-write a book in a way I think others would enjoy more, I would choose Dracula. Given the current interest in young romantic leads in vampire novels, I think I could make the villain a more sympathetic character whose love affair with Mina Harker would be more sentimental than monstrous. 6- If I were a director and wanted to make a book into a movie, I would definitely choose Kostova's The Historian. 7- If I had a choice in a world I would like to live in, I would choose the St. Louis of Anita Blake's world where supernatural creatures exist and share equal rights with humans. 8- If I had just a week to live, I think I would write my own book as fast as I could.
