Science Fiction Classics

First used in Science Wonder Stories in 1929, the term “Science fiction” has come to mean the literary imagination of how sciences impact society. From Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon, to today’s publications, Sci Fi has shown remarkable visions of
humanity.
Sometimes writers like C. S. Lewis use it to give a deeper understanding of Christianity. Once I read the Perelandra series, I found other Sci Fi explanations of religion to be missing the point.
Here are some classics from the last hundred years for your pleasure

Positive Fiction

Positive fiction is defined as those books which make one feel good, and laugh a little or a lot.
While positive fiction tackles important topics such as one’s relationship to God or to other people, it does so with a gentle touch and a kindness toward the characters and toward us. And some days a light touch is greatly appreciated.

The Poets' Tree April 2005

Can you identify the poem for or poet of these lines? The answers are on the back.
· I have measured out my life in coffee spoons.

· Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink

· One could do worse than be a swinger of birches

· The road was a ribbon of moonlight
Over a purple moor

· One if by land and two if by sea

· The mirror cracked from side to side

· Nevermore!

· They danced by the light of the moon
