A Fantasy Machine

sceadugenga · 10-17-2010, 11:33 PM

Most people with enough imagination to read fiction have dreamed of owning a time machine to visit their favourite time in history.
But how about a fantasy machine?
See the old West with Gus McRae from "Lonesome Dove", the great campaigns of the Victorian era with Harry Flashman.
Even join the Fellowship of the Ring!
A bit far fetched? Maybe for some.
Where would you go, and with who?

I would like to visit Atlantis (if it existed) as described in "Romance of Atlantis" by Taylor Caldwell.

I want to see what Jesus really talked about!

Not every one would agree this is fiction though.

I'd like to have tea with Miss Marple in St. Mary Mead.

I think first up would have to be a visit to the London of Raffles & Bunny; Holmes & Watson - with them as guides. Perhaps invite all four to a dinner party...

I'ed like to meet Repairman Jack.
And see the dark side of NYC with Burke.
Visit Ryhope Wood.
Sail with Marlow into the heart of darkness.

I'ed like to meet all my MobileRead friends.
To be able to grant them their heart's desire to let them know what their friendship means to me.

Isaac Asimov's I, Robot worlds sounds interesting. How cool it would be, to be a shrink for robots

Like, waving a clock upon their face and chanting: "Your eyes starts feeling heavier and heavier. Soon you will fell a sleep"

Helen of Troy, naked. Was she worth launching a 1000 ships, or was she a floozie who could only hold your attention for 5 minutes?

Lady Macbeth. Kate Minola. Juliet. Ophelia. Cordelia. Any of Shakespeare's ladies in their time and place.
