Quiz time

I developed a series of innocuous looking quiz-like questions I use on new people around me to probe them for any potential commonalities. One of them is:

If you had means, and will to swap places with someone. All conditions for it to happen met.

What is your favourite character from books you would like to be? And why?

My is R. Daneel Olivaw, robot from Asimov's Fundation series. He is the true ruler of mankind, immortal, nobody knows he exists, so he is safe from people. Those, who suspect someone like him might exist, are clueless about where he might live.

  • Interesting question. Possibly Piranesi (Matthew) from Suzanna Clarke's novel. I envy his solitude and his intimacy with his environment. He knows the house and its statues so completely, although as it appears to be infinite there is always more of it to explore. He does have a hard life though, in terms of getting enough food and other basic supplies, so that puts me off. I half fell in love with him while reading the book as I was attracted to his methodical recording of every detail of his life. Perhaps I'd like to live there with him, each in our own wing, occasionally crossing paths?
