If the settings are really interesting it can work.

Isn't it lovely when that happens? I've stumbled upon several good books that way and I love being pleasantly surprised (okay, it also happened the other way around, but not very often).

I'm not going to post this meme in my lj, but would you like me to answer one of the "letter"-questions above?

Sure! :-) How about T?

T. Three Of Your All-Time Favorite Books

Oh my - just three? This isn't easy, but here we go (I chose books that are not only favourites but also books that I reread regularly):

1) Richard Adams, Wathership Down.

For me, this book has it all: adventure, interesting characters, good psychology and gorgeous descriptions. It's a personal classic that I reread every few years.

2) Dorothy Sayers, Murder must advertise.

I like mysteries that are more than just who-done-its. Here we get a wonderfully constructed mystery, hilarious comic-relief, a fascinating look at the period between WWI and WWII and the dark side of the "bright young things" and Lord Peter Wimsey at his practically perfect best.

3)Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Books.

Or to be more specific: the Mowgly stories. I'm a big Kipling fan and while I'd rate "Kim" a close second, these stories are my favourites because of the fascinating descriptions (from the jungle-atmosphere to the ancient Indian palace to the fight with the red dogs) and the wonderful characters: I adore Bagheera. ^_^

I haven't read 1 or 3, though I've heard lots of good things about them. 2 is excellent! :-)

Well, the "Jungle Book" stories are short and are all stand-alone stories, so perhaps you'll want to try one sometime.

I knew you'd agree on the Wimsey book! ^_^
