Interesting??? Scary was the word that came to MY mind!
I’m surprised that neither Pern, nor Xanth have been mentioned yet.
Hijack Re: Podkayne of Mars
Would love to meet Podkane, but she dies at the end of the book=(
Are you sure about that? I haven’t read it in years but I distinctly remember that she got really messed up by that bomb trying to save the baby alien but she survived. Wasn’t her brother taking care of her?
Any rock band that crashes star ships into suns is cool in my book. Also don’t forget that Elivs plays in a small bar, but they never give the name or location of the planet. Might be a little hard to track down.
Continuing the hijack
There are two endings to the book. The one you are refering too was writen because the publishers didn’t think the book would sell well if she died at the end. Heinlein was upset that they wanted to change the ending, but rewrote it anyway. As originally writen she is killed in the blast, but the faire lives, and is taken care of by her brother who then begins to understand compasion, and joins the human race. The copy I have (which I started reading for the umtenth time last night) has both endings.
Back to your regularly scheduled post.
Add the world in ‘Encounter with Tiber’ to places I would like to live.
Also another book series but can’t remember the name world is populated by intelegent dinosuars (smarter than I am, they could spell). World is actually a moon, and the series leads up to them sailing to the other side of the world where they can see the planet they orbit, and they find another continet. Poor discription, but I thought it would be cool to live with intelegent dinosuars.
well… If we are travelling to fictional worlds I assume we can fictionalize our physiques and abilities… in that case I need to go somewhere I can smite some orcs or demons or something with long, pointy and/or sharp objects. Middle-Earth, Shannarra… Forgotten Realms… It would be a great stress releaser, methinks…
Ooohhh. ERB’s Barsoom!
Nekkid Red Martian Girls! WOO-HOO! 
My own D&D game world would be a lot of fun.
Middle Earth, after the One Ring was destroyed, or, say, 100 years before Frodo gets the ring.
The Planet of the Oversexed Naked Women. (Hey, it’s fantasy, right?)
The Star Wars universe only if I get to go there with a large pile of cash.
Give me 30 days to prepare and pack and I’ll go to any one of a hundred different times and places in Earth’s history.
Ooh, so many…
**Oz
Middle-Earth
Xanth
Dune
Star Wars
Star Trek
The Hyborian Age
The Forgotten Realms
Dorsai
Gormenghast**
Pern, but only if I can have a telepathic, teleporting, sentient dragon of my very own. :>
Can I pick the one I’ve been creating for the past ten years?
(Well, probably not a good idea since nobody here knows anything about it, thus defeating the purpose of a survey-type question, and the good folks probably don’t want to hear me rattle on about it.)
Okay then, Middle-earth it is. Buckland, please.
Wouldn’t the planet of ** Undersexed ** Naked Women be better. If they’re oversexed, they might not have much use for you. 
Pern for me too. Second choice would be Darkover - as long as I could be a Free Amazon!
I can’t believe nobody else is dying to go to Narnia. Hogwarts sounds good too, but for permanent living situations, I want to reside in Newford (Charles de Lint’s stories).
I can’t believe I forgot my favorite fantasy world of all: Norath (Everquest). That would be my first choice, magic, dragons, giants, gnomes. Even if I was just a shop keeper it would be a great place. Except the small detail is that while playing I have never ever seen a bathroom anywhere.
Through the Looking Glass
One of my favorites. I love the queen that runs and stays on the same square.
Alan Dean Foster’s Mid-World, or the unnamed planet to which Jon Tom gets teleported to. I want to party with Mudge!
Westeros. I would like to be born into one of the major houses, and a reasonably wealthy one at that. However, it would be preferable to be the youngest son, so that there wouldn’t be any need for anyone else to knock me off as they climbed towards the Iron Throne. I would spend most of my time in King’s Landing, hopefully not far from Chataya’s. However, whenever my spies in the Red Keep reported hints of upcoming political turmoil, I would hightail it out of there and settle in some remote rural region until the problem gets settled.
A very strong second for the Angevin Empire, agents of His Slavonic Majesty abounding or not.
I would also enjoy visiting Niven’s Dream Park, Callahan’s Bar and (ahem) Lady Sally’s.
I think that I’d like to visit or live in Watt-Evans’ Ethshar, AFTER the Great War is over and most of the dust is settled.
I’d also like to visit or live in Niven’s Known Worlds, again after the Kzin war.
Or Varley’s Steel Beach, especially if I got to keep the medical fixes I’m sure I’d get.
