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.

    Hard to say, most of my books are historical fiction, which would be horrible-living with a huge conflict during times of war and strife, or science fiction, which would be horrible for the same reasons.

    But I guess I would choose Spider Robinsons The Callahan Chronicles (Cross Time Saloon) because it’s a few good stories, where the only conflict is personal…and there is plenty of beer.
