One of the first times I went to the movies as a kid was to see Stanley Kubrick's 2001. I was drawn in by the speculative nature of the film. Also in High school back in the 1970's I was required to read The Hobbit as part of my English class. after that I read the Lord of the rings on my own. I was so hungry for more after that, so I took the bus to the local Mall,( not old enough to drive yet), and luckily there was a book store with a large Science Fiction and fantasy section. I am so thankfull for that English class because since then I have been transported to other worlds, alternate realities, Orc filled realms and deep within my own imagination. I read other genres but always find my way back to science Fiction.
