You know I really don't know. I have always loved reading, I would pick up just about anything. But I enjoyed books about space and the future. Then I also discovered the talented John Wyndham and love the appocolyptic books like Day of the Triffids and The Kraken Wakes, The Chrysalids, moved onto Issac Asimov (true scie fi genius)

I didn't really get into fantasy until my early twenties when I read Lord of the Rings, started with a goodie.

Movie's I have always loved sci fi movies, Star Wars was one of the first but I also remember seeing Metropolis (B&W silent movie) at some little movie house and thinking how wild is this. Blake's 7 sealed it for me, I loved this show, still do even 25 years later.
