What book universe would you least want to inhabit?
I would love to live in Westeros, if only so I could visit Asshai and figure out what is going on with that place. Why anybody would want to live in a dystopian universe has always been beyond me.
Panem, Norta and The Empire (in An Ember in the Ashes) are a few words I'd like to stay well away from them.
Panem, with no doubt. Or White London of ADSOM, too cruel and violent for my taste.
Probably wouldn't want to be caught in the Nevernever from the Dresden Files.
Discworld without a doubt, if you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to you.And death is a consummate professional. He's not cruel- merely terribly good at his job.
I agree with what a lot of people have said, Panem wouldn't be that great of a place to live.
Anything SJM write with her Fae-fetish bull shit. Male this, male that. Growl, snarl and with everyone looking like supermodels.

Oh I agree with Evgenia! No SJM world for me. Humans are treated as shit...

Right you are, but humorously dangerous.
Part of me wants to live in Camorr and the other part is scared stiff because of all the inner workings of the underworld (and the Spider too) -- not to mention that Bondsmage! Noooo thank you.
Camorr, like many places historically, would only be fun to live in if you're decently wealthy. Living in poverty in Camorr is just gross.

How do I actually find the poll? Does anyone have the url?
Yeah... I'm gonna have to go with Panem
"I have no mouth and I must scream."Dang place shivered my jimmies.

The London from 1984 (George Orwell). I'm pretty sure I would get myself killed very fast in that situation.
One thing is sure: television shows on The Running Man are killer.
Any of the the kingdoms in The Game of Thrones.
I’m gonna agree with a few people and say Panem
Trying to think of a worse place than Panem..... but it's hard!
I'd probably get kidnapped by WICKED if the flare doesn't kill me first, also I'd prefer to not wake up with zero memory in a giant maze with a bunch of pubescent teenage boys
I'd probably make a sarcastic comment and then they'd kill or curse me
one dictator after the next with superpowered people being oppressed no thank you
The Hunger Games because I would for sure live in District 12.
Well Bryan Smith's Last Day because well it's the last day kind of doesn't give much too look forward too.
Also no dystopian worlds for me (even though that's one of my fave genres)!
Definitely not Panem, the Maze Runner, 1984, or the the "civilized" world in Brave New World
Definitely not Westeros. I feel like nothing ends happy for anyone ever.

Midsummer Murders every one seems to end up been killed in one small area.

Star Wars would be amazing also Harry Potter
Game of thrones would probably suck, always fighting a war and most of the rulers are evil
I'd hate living in Panem or wherever The Maze Runner was set. And personally I wouldn't be a huge fan of Wonderland. The Lunar Chronicles world would be amazing though.
I wouldn't want to live in Panem or The Maze Runner world
I think I'm just fine living in plain, safe, non-magical London

Personally I wouldn't want to live in Westeros. Too dangerous. Camp Half Blood sounds mostly like child endangerement. Why would anyone want to live in Panem is beyond me. I'm not overly fond of dystopian worlds either, because when are they not mostly dictatorships?
I might love to read about these places, but I wouldn't want to live in them.
