Books are invaluable. Traveling and expanding my mind.

Thanks for the link to The Stars My Destination. I couldn't get the mobi file to open, but I found it in Amazon. I am looking forward to reading it.

Books are amazing...

You know, i don't get the comic books, it's too difficult to decode the meaning behind the pictures.

I mean, I enjoy Dilbert strips. But comic books? Eww.

A lot easier to build the worlds from quality writing.

Particularly I enjoy the writers who create universes with the world knowledge that remains relevant through their writing. eg. Stephen King's randall flagg.

Thanks for the info. I already bought the stars book, about half way through. You're right, good writing. It pleases me to find a new author.

I'm not much for comics either. Never thought about why, but maybe it is being unable to figure out the pictures.

A little, yes

Not in a significant way, maybe on the scale of 1 to 100 went from -850 to -801

I do! I particularly enjoy documentary and science fiction.

I know that some scientific information presented in sci-fi movies could be inaccurate from time to time, but I personally like fiction because I hope to be a novelist in the near future. So that doesn't really bother me.
What movie genres do you like?

I don't really follow particular genres - I like great movies, and they can be found in every genre. I do like fantasy and scifi, but Hollywood's idea of what's good is very different from what I consider great.

And the modern movies have too much social messaging in them under the guise of science or fantasy.

La La Land was awesome though.

I get very lonely too. I have never met anyone interested in the same things I am interested in. Never!

And the Sci Fi thing irritates me too. Star trek etc are too formulaic and predictable and I haven't liked comics or anime since I was under ten. I remember loving Saturday mornings because of Speed Racer. But I was five! I couldn't watch it now. I have watched Marvel series on Netflix but only because they were dubbed into languages I was learning so they were teaching me something. I did like Firefly though. And Battle Star Galactica.

For Sci Fi I like real quality writing. I read Asimov years ago, and Heinlein but they are very dated now. Andre Norton was a favourite when I younger and Ursula Le Guin. Iain M. Banks and Peter Hamilton are more my cup of coffee these days.

I feel this way too at times, fairly frequently actually. I am sort-of all-or-nothing in that I feel really centered and content, then I vacillate and wonder how I am going to do this the rest of my life, alone.

I also dislike how people put more stock into blood kin than friendship/love kin. How people think it's okay to boast about being married a long time. What about those of us who lost their marriage? Do we want to hear you boast about how wonderfully long yours is? I don't, sorry.

I didn't do the GoT thing because I disliked some things about the story line from the get-go. I guess that's good now because I have heard the end wasn't so great.....

I was always freaked out about sci-fi stuff personally, but I am pretty transcendental minded/spiritual and I do like Star Trek. My escape lies in my own imagination, not that of others. I can imagine/act on some pretty wild ideas if they really take root.

Mostly, I have to say yes, yes, yes. Get the whole, "Why Travel?" thing. I am painfully alone, so going somewhere else alone feels worse. I do force myself to do some things not too far away that I enjoy like going to a lake, camping locally, eating out, etc., but why would I want to spend a ton of $ travelling to a distant land when I would have no one to share it with? I'd rather just work and stick to my routine.

~Peace

In general, singles are seen as less valuable than "families". "Oh we shouldn't break families"

LeGuin I have mixed feelings about. Loved her "wizard of earthsea" but her space stuff was a bit too dry for my liking.

Game of thrones... simply put, there isn't a better show. Kinda like in the world where the best burger comes from Burger King, if you want a burger, you go to Burger King.
