I would like opinions from members of this group (fyi: If you are not already a member and would like to join us, please click the orange “subscribe to this group” button on the top of the main fiction group page).
I would like to know what you think about a map I’ve made titled: DU Fiction Around the World, 2012. It charts where our members are reading about.
I used the replies to DUgosh’s weekly “What are you reading” thread for the week of January 1, 2012 to start this map.
This is the formula I used to determine where members were reading:
I did not use cities or towns because many of them may only be fictional.
I used States only for the US locations and for all other places in the world I just used the country.
I determined what State or country by WHERE the book spends the most time in.
(i.e. If your main character is from Maine but the book is all about his/her time in college in Connecticut – the books should categorize under Connecticut)
I find the map kind of interesting and fun to look at. The map is not meant to serve a useful purpose. Do you think I should continue?
If you do think I should continue would it be too much to ask for 'Title, Author and Where' in DUgosh’s weekly thread when you list your book there?
I hope to hear from a lot of you, please.
The map:
