Science Fiction Books

If there is one genre of literature that has never really gotten the respect that it deserves, it is sci fi fiction. Every few years, one of the masterpieces of science fiction books is selective to become part of the canon, but credit is never given to the genre as a whole.

Whenever a science fiction book is taught in school, it is almost always called speculative fiction so they don't have to admit that there is such a thing as good science fiction literature. Although most of the classics of dystopian and utopian fiction are examples of science fiction books, few people realize that this is what they are reading.

Picking at the right science-fiction books can be hard. It is not that there isn't a lot of good science fiction if anything there is too much. Science fiction and fantasy books come in many different flavors. One of the most popular, of course, is space opera. Although much of this is pulp fiction, it is still quite enjoyable.

So who is a life artist? Do you take photos of your family, yourself, your environment, your world? Do you tell stories? Do you bring them all together onto paper, into your computer, onto a canvas (or some other cool concoction)? Do you create art journals with all kinds of wonderfully interesting pieces of your life and thoughts and emotions? Do you celebrate your life through your art?You are a life artist.I am a life artist.

Basically, it details grand adventures of good versus evil. Star Wars was a great example of space opera, but you can also find it in novels written by some of the best writers out there. Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert Heinlein is an excellent example of space opera, as is the popular Enders Trilogy written by Orson Scott card.

When I first got involved in science fiction books, I was reading all of the wrong stuff. Basically, I was reading science fiction magazines targeted towards your readers. Although some of this is good fiction, the stuff that I was reading wasn't near the top of the genre. When my dad saw what I was reading, he got pretty excited. He recommended that I join a science fiction book of the month club. He knew that I could find much better literature to read in the science fiction genre if I had a group to get me started.

Of course, one of the best ways to find science fiction books can be simply to talk to people within the community. Science fiction fans are usually very friendly to new readers seeking advice. If you go into a small, independent bookstore and asked the clerk's what you should read, you'll usually get excellent advice. Whether or not you ultimately agree with their taste in science fiction literature, you might just discover something new that you wouldn't have come across on your own.
