I like SF books, but don't frequently read one anymore.
In this demanding times where time seems to be shortened, I spend more time reading informative books like science or history books, rather than entertainment books.
Aha! Now this is an interesting point I see before me (or I think I see it)!

Please don't take offense at this... but I understand from your signature that you're unemployed at the moment?

When I'm not working fulltime, I tend to read history, theology, science, etc. Some very in-depth stuff. However, I've been working full-time for over five years now. And my work is very involved, and requires a lot of brainpower and research. Hence, I'm not at ALL interested in reading anything educational when I get home. I'm all researched out. Reading for fun, these days, is anything that entertains me while not requiring me to think too hard or keep ahold of too many concepts at a time. Light, pulpy stuff.
