SInce we are talking about science fiction let's get to the conclusion that you and me are rigth. What is true today may be half -true tomorrow or even a complete lie. Many things in science are still hypothesis, and there are concepts that have not been fully understood and / or explain. E.g: black holes. Even Stephen Hawking doesn't no agree in some stuff he supported some years ago.
So since my anwser is the mirror image of your, in the end they are both the same; therefore, both,you and me are rigth.

Actually, no.. u said science fiction is basically real science "spiked" with a touch of imagination. I said science fiction is A LOT of imagination, "spiked" with a tiny bit of real science.

Dude, Science Fiction is way more out there than Fiction. The whole premise of Science Fictions is that it is speculative. Meaning it deals with imagined science and technology sometimes lightly based on real science. E.g. Even though there is such a thing as "the speed of light" ie the speed at which light travels through a vaccum, there is no such thing as a "warp" or "light speed drive", thats just Science Fiction. Fiction on the other hand is a gendre that describes things that have not happen but could. Eg. If I write a book about you robbing a bank, its not a real event but its not inherently impossible since in theory anyone is capable to atleast attemp to rob a bank, unlike writing a book about travelling through time or going to other planets and stuff. We couldnt do that even if we wanted to (and I really would).

Books categorized as fiction are lies too. You know.

'cause Confundida never answered my question...I don't know if this book is similar......But I read "The Bible Code"...and it's a book that makes you question a lot. It merges scientific research with the Old Testiment.....It's pretty freaky....

como muchos de ustedes me encanta Gabriel Garcia Marquez e Isabel Allende, es dificil decir mi libro favorito porque literariamente hablando ambos son novelas,.. que mezclan la ficcion con la realidad de la epoca en que cada una se desenvuelve,.. me gusta Cien años de Soledad y el Amor en tiempos de colera,... no he leido Paula pero me han dicho que es muy buena obra,.. pero he leido Retrato en Sepia y la Ciudad de las bestias ,.. en estas dos novelas se pueden diferenciar dos tipos de estilos literarios de Isabel Allende ya que la ciudad de las bestias tiene el estilo de cuentos mitologico,.. muy interesante y es para lectores adolescentes mas que todo,.. Los libros de Quatemoc Blanco ( disculpen si lo escribi mal) tambien los he leido ,.. muy interesantes y realmente te abren los ojos sobre lo que la juventud vive y como debemos prepararnos. Se los recomiendo todos,.. la literatura Latinoamericana es muy rica en recursos y belleza literearia ,.. yo prefiero leer en español aunque he leido algunas novelas de Joan Johnston,.. pero el español es mi primera lengua ( amo mi idioma ) ,.. pero ahora estoy leyendo un libro llamado A houndred and One days - A Baghdad Journal es escrito por Asne Seirstad una periodista rusa,.. ya se que hemos escuchado de toda la tragedia ocurrida pero ella describe exactamente lo que la poblacion vivio y lo que ella vio siendo periodista,..

Bitter Grounds, Sandra Benitez's American Book Award-winning novel, chronicles the lives of three generations of women in war-torn El Salvador. After losing most of their family during the massacres of 1932, Mercedes Prietas and her daughter Jacinta go to work for Elena de Contreras and her family, who own enormous coffee and cotton plantations. During the next 40 years, the women of both families help each other endure the many hardships that come their way. Benitez manages to portray both the poor and the rich women in this book as complex, sympathetic characters. Like the heroines of Los dos, their favorite radio soap opera, the women in this novel suffer heartache, unrequited love, betrayal, and the loss of loved ones. One by one, all of Jacinta's family members are killed amid the country's political turmoil. Elena's heart breaks when she discovers her best friend in bed with her husband on the eve of their daughter's marriage. The Contreras family struggles to retain control of its land during the late 1970s government-mandated redistribution of wealth. Through it all, the women sustain each other, even after circumstances separate them: "Sometimes, late at night or, most often, very early in the morning, when Jacinta lay in her cot in the little room she shared with Rosalba, her mother stirred within her. This was not craziness, but a consolation. To feel her mother's flesh, her bulk, shored up along the banks of her own bones and flesh." Bitter Grounds is a thoughtful, vivid account of the lives of some very resilient women..

Dear Afrodita:

His books are good too. I'd say they have the same feel as the books from allende.
