I cried a couple times at work today over this, I think I'm becoming a parent in mentality years before we plan on becoming parents. This hit me harder than the Joplin Tornado, in terms of instant emotional response.

Re: Currently Reading / Just Read (Books/stories/whatever)
This, so much this. It's a cop-out to ascribe the appeal of science fiction and fantasy to escapism. Lots of literature is escapist and the very act of reading (whatever the content) necessarily takes you out of a given moment. For me, Dune was escapist, but more importantly, it was expansive. It w...
