Booking Through Thursday

From Booking Through Thursday's regular Meme:

"One of my favorite sci-fi authors (Sharon Lee) has declared June 23rd Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers Day.

As she puts it:

So! In my Official Capacity as a writer of science fiction and fantasy, I hereby proclaim June 23 Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Day! A day of celebration and wonder! A day for all of us readers of science fiction and fantasy to reach out and say thank you to our favorite writers. A day, perhaps, to blog about our favorite sf/f writers. A day to reflect upon how written science fiction and fantasy has changed your life.

So … what might you do on the 23rd to celebrate? Do you even read fantasy/sci-fi? Why? Why not?"

I am left we the odd notion that I must be missing something. My husband, father, and close friends are all avid fantasy/sci-fi readers. Yet other than an occasional book (that is more exception than rule) I don't enjoy the genre.

Hmmm...

Thanks to my friend C in DC over at Pencil Crossings for peaking my interest in Booking Through Thursday. I've enjoyed her entries so much that I decided to try it for myself.
