I'd like to read more of them actually. <br /><br />Cyberpunk is funny, when I look at "classic" (so- called) cyberpunk very little of it actually appeals to me, yet I love the idea of it and the whole futuristic, noir like setting. A lot of it just seems weird or not done in a way that interests me, you know? Maybe that's why I gravitate towards dystopians- at least I get SOME of that futuristic grim vibe anyway. :) Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-32152106767776106062016-07-31T12:04:51.763-07:002016-07-31T12:04:51.763-07:00Love this post-- so many good to me answers, and s...Love this post-- so many good to me answers, and similar to what I might have chosen. I too would love to travel to Victorian England for a visit, but not to stay long unless I brought modern medicine with me :) I would most likely choose The Shire or Rivendell, the places I always fangirl about, but for good reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-50463545995326373372016-07-30T15:10:59.032-07:002016-07-30T15:10:59.032-07:00This is a great tag!

I think I would tell myself not to read A Clockwork Orange until I was older. Ha ha. I would love to see dinosaurs, too! I want to know if they really had feathers. I am hoping that Japan is successful in cloning a Wooly Mammoth before I die. I would love to see that. I am going to do this post. :)La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-68674865534796947082016-07-29T22:21:13.738-07:002016-07-29T22:21:13.738-07:00Love this tag!

And I think that Victorian London is definitely a great setting- so much potential! Love your choices for the Time Turner too- those would be SO fascinating, and I love that you'd be able to settle mysteries once and for all. That would be the best, having total peace of mind about life's unanswered historical questions!

I've actually read numerous books in that setting this year, and they did all seem to have some sort of creepy monster element.<br /><br />Oh yeah, you are always posting artwork of futuristic, cyberpunk settings, and that's where your story you've been posting is set. I should've known you'd choose that. I've been meaning to try more cyberpunk ever since reading Artificial, but idk, I guess I'm still hesitant about it? I do like those types of dystopian, ruined city settings you mentioned though.Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-2408790673638584402016-07-28T12:25:17.214-07:002016-07-28T12:25:17.214-07:00Thank you.

I'd love to read more Victorian era stuff w/ just those elements! <br /><br />Time travel is funny, and when I did a post on it a couple months ago I discovered that a lot of people really don't like it- for various reasons. that was new for me because I've always found it fascinating. But I can see why it poses problems for people. I've seen bad ones and good ones... :) Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-35054599506859127772016-07-28T12:23:11.918-07:002016-07-28T12:23:11.918-07:00I have done it before, I have to admit. :) Althoug...I have done it before, I have to admit. :) Although I don't so much anymore... and I agree about Lewis.

I wish I had read Lord of the Rings earlier too. I was well into my adulthood when I discovered it. Such a great story.<br /><br />My husband kind of ruined time travel for me for awhile there--because he has issues with the concept--but I've read a few in the recent past and find I really enjoy them.
