Discussion Friday

[geraineon]

I was just recently on a three day long train trip, which got me thinking:

1) if you were to go on a three day long train trip, are there any cnovel characters you would like to be your travel buddies? And who do you think will be a terrible travel buddy, and why?

2) if you have read any novels involving train travel that you enjoyed, what role did that train/train travel play in the novel?

Any other train related comments, all good too!

Comments

I actually had a pretty long discussion about this with a couple of other people who have read the novel, and I think half the characters would annoy me and the other half would make me anxious by being TOO accommodating and uncomplaining.

My joke nomination is for For comments: Highlight for spoilers! *the sole non-cybernetically-enhanced human in the story who has also trained herself in the art of poison so that she can literally kill you with a touch. She would either respect your boundaries on the road trip, or she would not. In the latter case, it would be a very short trip*
