I read so much science fiction when I was young. I believe science fiction is the genre for exploration and to learn about possibilities via book.

I still tend to read more urban fantasy and romance than science-fiction, but every once in a while, a couple of books will come along and knock my socks off.

I grew up reading a lot of fantasy/sci-fi.

I read a great deal of science fiction with consummate pleasure between, say, the ages of 12 and 16. Then I got away from it. In my mid- to late 20s, I started trying to write it.

I do enjoy reading some science fiction.

I read a lot of fantasy as a kid. I read 'The Hobbit' and all of the 'Lord of the Rings' books, but I also read a lot of realism like 'The Outsiders.'

Books in general are great, but I'm a fiction lover, and I will continue to do it.

Also, most people read fiction as an escape - and I wonder whether my books aren't a bit too grounded in reality to reach the widest possible audience.

There's more fiction in my life than in books, so I don't bother with them.
