I have only read one science

Submitted by TPB1988 on Sun, 02/28/2010 - 11:16am.

I have only read one science fiction novel in my entire life so I would definitely be starting with a blank slate. Normally I would hate that but in this class it seems I am always starting with a blank slate so why not continue the routine. I doubt a large amount of people in the class have a lot of background knowledge on this subject so it would something new we could all explore as a group. This genre, like blogging, is also underrepresented in English classes and in the literary world even though I think it will have a big impact for genres in the future. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Great Idea! I would like to make one suggestion. We could try to read Ender’s Game although I am not sure how high up it is on the literary merit scale.
