The Reasons Sci Fi Novels Are So Popular

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.

Someone with a fabulous imagination and open mind can become part of the book as soon as they begin reading it. They become a part of the story, they are transported into whatever place and time period the book is set in. You can visit places that you would never get to see otherwise. Every person reads books for different reasons but they all do it to escape this world and spend just a little time in a new place.

If you can read a sci fi book and not enjoy it, it is probably because you do not have the imagination to build the world and characters in your mind. If you can not see the world you are reading about in your imagination then you are not going to enjoy these types of books.

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 misconception about people that read these books is that only nerds and guys read these books. The main thing I want to clear up about this misconception is that reading is not "uncool" and it does not make you a "nerd" because you like to read sci fi.

Girls like guys that are smart and a guy that has an imagination. So for the tough guys that think they are too "cool" to read sci fi and think it's cool in school to make fun of the boys that like to read, the guys you picked on will be the ones that have great wives or girlfriends that like reading the same type of books that they do.

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.

Reading will increase your vocabulary a lot and quickly too. You should read as often as you like. You don't even have to read a certain type of book, but we all know sci fi books are the best.
