Introduction

I always loved reading books, but I never had time for them. I preferred to invest my free time basically playing videogames, and being lazy on facebook. But in the month of August, when I go camping without videogames and Internet connection, I had time to read some books. So two years ago, I decided that I'll just top reading only in August, I'll give a try reading all moths of the year.

So I started reading mystery and non-fiction novels, I really liked, but I always wanted to go deep in science fiction. First things first, I started reading the most famous writer of science fiction, Isaac Asimov. 
I really enjoyed his books, I was already trapped. First, I read first the trilogy of foundation, I was shocked, how a book of science fiction could be so "real"? I mean, I thought that these books would be plenty of happy and unrealistic ideas, but I found that the foundation of Isaac Asimov were a way more realistic than the mystery books located in 1950s, Barcelona, that I read before. It took me months to discover that what I loved, it was the called hard science fiction.

I would never thought how I would enjoy discovering the mule, thinking how to find a lost robot with the first law modified, or just loving Elijah and Giskard talking under the tree.

I thought that Asimov (and the rest of writers), only had independent novels, but I saw that if I wanted to read all "canon" Asimov books, were like 14 (hey, no problem). Thinking about it, if a book costs like 10€, its a expensive hobby, like videogames. But I feel better and have more hours of fun paying for a book.
Also I discovered libraries, the library of the university where I study, it has a huge collection of science fiction. Normal libraries don't have science fiction books, you feel happy if you found some exemplar of foundation, I don't understand this neither.

So here I am, enjoying the reading, I love hard science fiction, thinking about realistic situations and environments. I prefer to watch an episode of an android explaining that he dreamed for the first time the night before, than seeing a few beep beep between family members.

"And what was your dream about?" 
"I met my father"
"Wow, and how was his aspect"
"Just like me, he created me in his own image"

A few months ago I found a book in the library that I thought his title was funny "The mote in god's eye". What a book, amazing, I discovered that Larry Niven is one of the most famous writers of hard science fiction. So here I am, Ringworld series already read, and I'm currently reading his Known Space books.

I'll keep updating this blog. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
