Been reading The Paris Wife for our bookclub chat tomorrow night and thinking about Midnight in Paris (winner of Best Screenplay Oscar), and then found this literary time-travel arcticle in the Guardian
So, who would you most like to hang with? Which literary period is your golden era? Could you face a road-trip with Jack Kerouac? Would you rather be gazing at daffodils with Wordsworth, Coleridge and Shelley? Discussing heartbreak with the Brontes? Would Nancy Mitford be more of a laugh than Jane Austen?
I had a brief moment of thinking it'd be fun to sit with Ancient Greeks and hear those myths told out loud. But then I realised that was just because I'd like to be in Greece.
I'd like to stride in Dorset with Thomas Hardy, but I have a feeling he might not talk very much, and be quite annoyed by all my pesky questions.
Where would you go?
