In reading chapter 8 I never realized how many forms of fictional writing there really are: Contemporary Realistic, Historical, Fantasy, and Science Fiction. I guess I would day that Science fiction is my favorite of the bunch. I've always enjoyed reading sci-fi because it brings to mind the possibility of what could be in store for us in the future. In this sense I can agree with the Madeline L'Engle when she said "fiction is a vehicle of truth". In the realm of science fiction an idea for the future must be formed before it can be created, tangibly. For a great read try Aldous Huxley's "A Brave New World".

I agree with you Armando. I too never knew there were som many different types of fiction books. My favorite is Historical fiction. I especially like to read stories about how people lived in the past and how much things have changed over the years. Science fiction is good too.
