Booking Through Thursday: (On Friday) Sci-Fi

One of my favorite sci-fi authors (Sharon Lee) has declared June 23rd Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers Day.

As she puts it:

So! In my Official Capacity as a writer of science fiction and fantasy, I hereby proclaim June 23 Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day! A day of celebration and wonder! A day for all of us readers of science fiction and fantasy to reach out and say thank you to our favorite writers. A day, perhaps, to blog about our favorite sf/f writers. A day to reflect upon how written science fiction and fantasy has changed your life.

So … what might you do on the 23rd to celebrate? Do you even read fantasy/sci-fi? Why? Why not?

I do read fantasy and science fiction. I don't love everything I've tried. But I've loved a good bit of it!

Orson Scott Card is my favorite science fiction writer. I love Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead especially. I love Andrew Wiggin :)

I also love Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles.

I also love Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy. Just the trilogy. Not those later Foundation novels that were just messed up.

I also love H.G. Wells. The Time Machine and War of the Worlds especially!

And Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was just fun. How could I not love that?

I also love science fiction because under its umbrella is the whole sub-genre of dystopian fiction. I love, love, love me a good dystopian novel.

Time travel and alternate realities are also fun treats for me :)
