Today a colleague and I were discussing books. As you probably know by now, I love books. I love the pages. I love the words. I love the smell. I love the sound of the pages. I really love books. (To the point that it has become somewhat of a problem and periodically I give up purchasing books for periods of time so that I can read the ones I have.)
I will read almost anything. Once someone makes a recommendation -- And please, leave comments with recommendations if you have any -- I will add it to my 'to read' list.
Our discussion today was the exception.
The exception to this rule is often sci-fi/fantasy....yes, the entire genre. Though I find that when I give it a chance, from time to time, I really enjoy something from this genre. But, when it is good, it is really good and when it is bad, it is really bad.
As mentioned in my previous post, I really enjoyed The Giver. And there are others - Ender's Game, Harry Potter, The Martian Chronicles, Brave New World. Some of these books top my favorites list. On the other hand, some sci-fi/fantasy tops my least favorites list.
Sometimes I just don't understand how an entire genre can be so polarizing. There seems to be no middle ground for me with this. Does anyone else feel this way?
