speedy mcspeedy and the reader

Tweet

My bus driver this morning seems to be of the belief that he is Lewis Hamilton. We've been zooming down winding country lanes, braking hard for the occasional speed camera on the less winding country roads, and have arrived at the first stop in Quaint Historic Market Town ten minutes early. This is in complete contrast to yesterday, which saw us painfully crawl along the roads, struggling to get up the hills like an elderly invalid dying of thirst under a blazing hot sun whilst trying to get to the Oasis. I'm reading a book at the moment {obviously not this precise moment} which is a bit of a strugggle. I am both loving it and finding it a frustration for reasons which I cannot completely comprehend myself. The male protagonist is a character from a series of books. The female protagonist is a reader of the books. She loved the books as a child and has been summoned to this fictional world through evil means, tortured by a tyrant and has come to the realisation that the brother of the protagonist is not the attractive personality she once seemed him to be. So anyway, now my head is a jumble of thoughts. When a Writer creates fictional worlds, do these worlds become real? Are we living in a fictional world, a world which ended when our Writer finished writing his books about us, and then left us to flounder and create our own stories. Is this the God or Allah or Buddha of which some believe? Just some chap sitting in a coffee shop, thinking up ideas and putting pen to paper? A lady straining her eyes in front of her computer screen, fingers wildly tapping across the keyboard, ideas screwed up and discarded at her feet and a cat purring on her lap as she absently tickles the top of his head. Yes, right there, that's the spot. Maybe we're not even fictional characters in a well-loved book. Maybe we're just formed from those ideas that have been discarded. Okay, enough. It's far too early for such profound discussion. But ... just out of curiosity, which fictional book world would you like to be summoned to?
