1: Yikes, this is hard! Assuming you're meaning a non-fiction character, I suppose someone like Captain Cook when he was discovering British Columbia or New Zealand (that's the adventuring in me). I'd love to be able to have seen those places before anyone else (apart from the local inhabitants) had got there. I'm not even going to go fictional, because there are too many choices.

Ooh, I've just thought of another answer. JJ Abrahms. Then I could make Alias so much cooler (although you would hate it!) *g*

2: Aha, a question I've had in many forms before. Interesting is an ununsual choice of words, though. Normally it's nice, beautiful, place I liked the most etc. Okay, interesting. Hmm, even though I wasn't overjoyed at the time, I would probably say Washington DC. There are so many museums there that are awesome. (I was 5 at the time, and after a while, being dragged around the Smithsonian got a little boring!) I'd love to go back now - I'd appreciate it more. Otherwise, somewhere else that's got a museum or something - like the Cook museum in Cooktown, Australia, or, nearer home, the Peggy museum in Castletown, Isle of Man (it's about a chap who smuggled rum & sorts out of and into the Isle of Man in a small boat called the "Peggy". His house has all sorts of secret passageways and things.)

This answer is discounting all the gorgeous places I've been too. They were all interesting in their own way, obviously, but I was going for "interesting" in terms of educational, sort of. *g*

3: You're determined to ask questions that don't have simple answers, aren't you? *g*

Okay, in terms of books that I could read over and over again, then The Changeover or the Swallows & Amazons series, or in fact the Immortal series by Tamora Pierce (notice how they're all kids books!) and I can't forget Shadow the Sheepdog and Watership Down.

Books that I truly love, although I haven't read in quite a while: Black Beauty, The Call of the Wild [a truly awesome book - in fact anything by Jack London really makes you think and cry], Jennie [also a fantastic book by Paul Gallico, he's a lot like Jack London in that he makes you think and cry]. The fact that these books are all about animals is completely irrelevant!

That's what I can come up with off the top of my head. The trouble with that question is that I have read so many books that I absolutely love, but I suppose those listed above definitely are top of the list.


I bet you didn't think my answers would be so long! *g*

Lol!

I'd love to go back now

I'm game. ;)

You know, the only one of those books I've read is Shadow the Sheepdog (I bawled my eyes out at that). Haven't got round to The Changeover yet. The Call of the Wild is one that I've always meant to read, but never quite got round to, tho after a rec like that, it's definitely up there near the top my list of books to read. (And I'll need to borrow Swallows and Amazons, after I've read The Changeover.)

I bet you didn't think my answers would be so long!

No, but it's very cool that they are. :)

Very randomly - there's a sequel planned to HWATF! *g*
