The first book you read specifically for the setting?

By: Emily Carrington

Setting can be time as well as place, and for me, the first book I read with this in mind was a book that took place partially in New York City over three or four different time periods. The series is called The Dark Tower by Stephen King and while only some of the action takes place in NYC, I was fascinated with the bustle and rudeness of so many people living together. I might not have fallen in love with this series without that connection to the Big Apple.

What are your favorite times and places to read about? Are there some that are “done to death” and others you’d like to see more of? Share any of your answers with me at: emilycarrington118@gmail.com.
