A Sense of Place in Books
A college professor assigned a paper where we had to discuss the “place” of a particular novel. Some in the class struggled with grasping what she meant. In retrospect I think we were all over-thinking the concept. Books, like art and music, can describe a setting so accurately and distinctly that we can actually feel what it’s like to be there right alongside the characters. I personally feel this sense can extend to mental places as well (think, American Psycho), which can be frightening as well as enjoyable.
What books, paintings, photographs, or music have transported you?

What was on your Favorite Author's Bookshelf?
I know we’ve been reblogging lots of stuff from Flavorwire.com, but their compilations are just so appealing! Some of us on the interro-staff have wondered this exact thing. Build your reading list off of what some of these writers were reading. Is your fave author on the list?
