11 WAYS READING OCTAVIA BUTLER WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Feeling Rebloggy

"A lot of people shy away from science fiction. A lot of readers are afraid of the genre, or assume that it is all aliens and dystopias. But after reading Kindred(which transports you back to a 19th-century plantation) or Fledgling (a vampire science fiction novel), you'll know that science fiction is much more than space stations and robots. Science fiction can be anything, take place anywhere, and include everyone. After reading Butler, you will know that there is no place sci-fi can't take you."



1. You'll Stop Making Excuses For Why You Don't Go After What You Want

2. You'll Learn The Term "Afrofuturism," And Understand Why It Matters


3. You'll Never Worry About Being A Woman In A Man's World Again...


11. You'll know black women can do anything. (yes, that's my addition)
