BrainFreeze Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If you were to swap lives for a day with a character from a book, who would it be and why? Would you swap lives with that character to change something about them? To live their life for a day? To see something through their eyes?

lexiepiper Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 This is lame and predictable, but Bella from Twilight. Sexy brooding Edward for a whole day? Yes please! (And I'd want to be Bella after she's been changed) :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggiesfan Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Any of the Famous Five, it would be great to solve mysteries and have lashings of ginger beer after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Roxanna in Inkspell. She's Dustfinger's wife, and he's one of my all time favourite characters. He's awesome. Or else maybe Cathy in Wuthering Heights haha. Not the happiest tale, but it would be cool to feel the relationship between her and Heathcliff. I'd change what she said about it degrading her to marry him, so he wouldn't run away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd choose one of his rare calm, safe days though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andaira Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Amber St. Clare, from Forever Amber, by Kathleen Winsor. The one reason why the book has been my favorite since I read it years ago is because the main character (said name) fascinates me. I wouldn't change a single thing. It would be quite an experience to see the world through her eyes even if just for a day, especially starting from mid-book onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, good choice Kell. I loved her and that book, she was unconventional and lively. I always wanted to be Heidi when I was young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Actually, thinking again, I might like to swap with Thursday Next (from the Thursday Next novels by Jasper Fforde) for the day - then I could go into all my favourite books and meet all my favourite characters - that would be fun!

Ceinwenn Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Would it be wrong of me to say Hanibal Lector? I'd just love to know what was going on in that mind of his - it would have to be a non-human eating day, though. Definatley a non-human eating day!
