Great site: I think the value of Science Fiction and Fantasy is under estimated, with all the stress around it is a great escape and some great ideas have come from reading good science fiction and fantasy :)

I agree with you we should find time for ourself, specially when we really are exhausted, for it will just make your day more dull, you will attract negative vibes. What I usually do when I feel so worn out I play computer games but the one thing that would give me peace of mind, that I would definitely be relaxed is a park that has so many trees that you can feel the air touching your skin and the sky that is so clear. It is really a good thing to find time for ourself or what you called escape from a stressful day.

Thanks for the great post. Anytime most people feel stress the natural reaction is to immerse into something you love to do. Looking forward to read more posts.

I agree – sometimes I just want to escape all the stress in my life. Reading is a great escape! I’m going to check out The Years of Rice and Salt – sounds good!

Damn you Alf! Now I have even more books to add to my wish list. :)

Have you read Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Years of Rice and Salt? Another great look at a world that never was.

Great piece, Ben!

My favorite fantasies to escape into: Barry Hughart’s Bridge of Birds (my favorite novel, period–about an ancient China that never was), David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas (perhaps counts as slipstream SF? wonderful), Mark Danielewski’s House of Leaves (in effect, HP Lovecraft meets Vladimir Nabokov’s Pale Fire at a Blair Witch Project design meeting)
