I love a good science-fiction novel. I was never much of a reader until this past year. Now, I make myself a little breakfast and plop down with a book for the first hour of my day. It is a great way to wake up, and I have learned that if I wait until the afternoon, I can't get myself to sit down over the lure of a bike ride or afternoon hike.

In our daily "real world" lives, we don't necessarily want "fantasy" playing a role. While it would be cool to meet an alien or even get snatched up by a UFO — is that just me? — at the end of the day most of us would choose reality (albeit with a gin and tonic on the side).
