I saw this question posed on Mastodon. If you got lost in space and rescued by aliens who made you live in a simulation for the next 40 years based on a book, what would it be?

For me: The Great Gatsby. I would have to play the part of Nick and just get drunk all the time.

    NOT The Bible.

    God, or Twilight, I haven’t seen the movies but I’m sure that’s the worst possible option.

      You wanna be Bella Swan, the teenage girl with depersonalisation disorder or Edward Cullen, the predatory 104 year old vampire?

      The vampires in Twilight are described as have unique powers. Edward is a mind reader.

      1. He is attracted to a teenager whom he tries to stay away from at all times.
      2. Bella has no thoughts. Edward is never able to sense a single thought from her.
      3. Midnight Sun, the latest book, is set during the first book, which is about Edward’s period which he ran away from Forks, Washington (the setting).
      4. Are you sure you want something associated with 50 Shades of Grey? That book series is Twilight fan fiction. Even the movie adaptation of the first book goes as far as to copy fscenes from the first Twilight movie.
      5. Oh and one of the characters is a werewolf who is supernaturally destined to fall in love with Bella’s unborn child.

      EDIT: I have thoughts about Twilight, none of them good.
