Sci Fi Novels And The Places They Can Take You

By Rosella Campbell


The first thing a sci fi reader has to have is a good imagination and an open mind. If you are sitting down to read a book about aliens, witches, or even zombies you are not going to enjoy the book if you are constantly thinking to yourself that would never happen not in a million years. Sci fi novels are so popular among all age groups simply because it takes you out of this world and into a world that you could only dream about.

With an open mind and imagination you can begin your book and instantly be transported to places you could otherwise never visit. People will read these books for different reasons but no matter what reason you are reading your book, you will still get the same thing from the book as everyone else. You will be able to leave this world behind and enter into a completely new world.

If you read one of these books and you do not like it, then it probably has something to do with you not having much of an imagination. You have to be able to build the world and people you are reading about inside your mind. If you can't do that then you are not going to be able to enjoy reading this type of book.

If you are not an astronaut who travels in space then reading a sci fi book is your only chance to go into space and visit made up planets with aliens that may or may not be hostile. This is your only opportunity to carry on a conversation with a being from another planet. Those people out there that think reading sci fi books is a waste of time have never felt what it is like to start a book and become a protector of the galaxy defending against all killer aliens.

One big misconception about the world of sci fi is that only boys or men enjoy it. It is also thought that only "nerds" and "uncool" people read these books. That is also not true. Girls love a good sci fi book just as much as any guy does and reading no matter what type of book it is, is never uncool.

Girls like smart guys, they also like guys with imagination. So all of the jock guys out there that made fun of the kids in middle school and high school because they read books all the time, they probably have great girlfriends or wives that enjoy the same time of reading material.

You would be surprised at how many people in your school are reading the same books you are. They just try to hide it so they seem cooler. Reading is cool no matter what type of book you choose to read.

People that spend time reading tend to have a higher vocabulary than the people that don't read. You learn new words every time you read a new book. So do not ever let anyone make you feel bad about yourself because you enjoy reading sci fi.
