Things which bored me to tears as a kid have become more and more interesting. Reading about science makes me realize the complexity and oddness of the physical world; reading science fiction does that too, and also makes me puzzle over our particular society and culture and place in history. And it makes me want to study and understand that history - where we come from and what our options are in the future.<BR/><BR/>I used to read mostly fiction and my father would always say "It's good that you read but you need to read non-fiction!" And indeed as I age I find myself reading non-fiction more and more, to learn about this reality we inhabit. But it's still good to read some sf/f now and then to get an alternative view. :-)Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144417439505262113noreply@blogger.com
