What is your favorite setting for a book?

Question

desert, city, village...
What setting do you like best?

Answer 1

Old England (like the 1500's)

Answer 2

Generally, I think cities are interesting. More people equals more potential for character interactions that drive a plot. However, I don't pick what books to read based on what sort of physical setting they have; I'm not less likely to read a book because the cover blurb says that it is set in a small village or the wilderness. (The book I'm currently reading -- re-reading yet again -- is set in the wilderness for a large part of the story.)

Answer 3

England. Usually long ago. I like best the ones in villages or on country estates, but with a few scenes of London. Actually, anything at all about Britain, which includes Scotland, Wales and sometimes Ireland. [What's official? Is Ireland part of "Britain" or "the British Isles," or both?]

I mean, I like lots of other locations, too, but my favorites seem to be mostly in England.

Answer 4

a war setting always gets me, a desert, sometimes the city and sometimes a village. It all depends, the book itself is what really matters, but I'll admit that fantasy settings and romance settings aren't my favorite.

Answer 5

A village or a forest

Answer 6

Anywhere in the UK before 1900, New England, near the sea or colonial Australia.

Answer 7

Cities I'm familiar with: LA, Seattle, Boston

Answer 8

Scotland highlands during the 1800s to 1900s. Castles,Battles and such things. I still can't imagine how they functioned without anti-persperant and clorox though.

Answer 9

Anywhere in the British Isles, especially the countryside.

Answer 10

Small town settings.
