Top Ten Most Vivid Settings In Books

Radioactive

This book is all about the setting,

with danger in everything,

even the smallest particles.

Buddha in the Attic

America in the time leading up to and during WWII,

America afraid.

1Q84

Another Murakami world

of secrets and mysteries,

where nothing is certain.

The Yearling

I never knew what Florida Crackers were

until I read this book.

Think Florida Crackers = Early Wal-Mart People.

Game of Thrones

If you are a woman and you've ever been talked into playing Risk

with a bunch of men,

and you ended up running away from the table, in tears...

well, that's basically this book,

only you won't just leave the table in tears.

Window

It's inevitable, we know,

but it hurts anyway.

Paris to the Moon

It's Paris.

It's the most vivid spot on earth.

It's the book that makes me think of moving there every day.

Watership Down

I was a rabbit, living among rabbits,

for days as I read this book.

Children on the Oregon Trail

No water. Hunting for food.

Cold. Seven children,

one an infant, headed for Oregon.

In winter. Alone.

Zeitoun

New Orleans after Katrina.

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.
