Goodreads asked Mike Carey:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Mike Carey Oh man, that's hard! So many choices. I think I'd have to go for the world (sorry, universe) of Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. An anarchist utopia would make a refreshing change from the current political scene - and there would just be so many possibilities. No disease or war, no poverty. So many worlds and wonders to see that you'd grow old and die before you sampled even a tiny fraction of them. Except that you could choose NOT to grow old and die. Yeah, that would have to be my first option. The second would be something silly and nostalgic and slightly dubious like the world of the Borrowers books. It's so beautifully and lovingly rendered, even if it's also parochial and tiny and perilous...
