Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the BookishEach week, we get a theme to list our top tens. 

This week's Top Ten pick : Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books.

Here is my list:

1) Harry Potter Novels: I know everyone is going to write about magical world of Hogwarts
2) Alice In Wonderland: Can anything beat its settings?
3) The Road by Cormac McCarthy: Dystopian novel with strong message
4) Haruki Murakami Novels: He writes about a world which is unknown, uncertain and mystic.
5) A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson: It is that kinda of book in which you wish to walk along with him...
6) Regency Era: Anything based in this period is totally readable.

That's about it......

I like seeing Murakami's books on this list. They take place in our world, but not in the world we all know.

Great list! You reminded me that I really need to get around to Murakami's books one of these days lol

Here is my TTT for this week

Great List! Your right, Harry Potter has been on every list I've read today!

I didn't even think about Alice in Wonderland, but that is a perfect setting for this list!

Also, I've heard a ton of Murakami's books but never read them. I need to see what they're all about. :)

LOVE The Road by Cormac McCarthy and that setting. Dark and desolate, but perfect.

I definitely agree with the Harry Potter books and would add Anne McCaffrey's books if I made a list (especially her Pern books).

How did I forget about Alice in Wonderland? Lol!! Great list!!

Aleksandra said...

Still haven't read anything from Murakami, although I know I should :) and yeah, HP is a must on a list like this one :)

Alice in Wonderland. Of course. An absolutely captivating world, I think.

I've always been a bit hesitant to read The Road, but I continue to hear great things about it, and it's been popular on the this week's TTT:)

Emily said...

Chloe @ YA Booklover Blog said...

Completely agree with HP! Thanks for stopping by my TTT :)

Glad to see Harry Potter on your list too! I totally agree - few things beat the amazingness of the wizarding world, Hogwarts castle included.

I totally agree about Wonderland and regency England, but I haven't heard of these other novels. I'm always on the lookout for awesomely constructed dystopian or fantasy/supernatural novels, so I'm definitely checking these out (especially The Road). Great list!
