Why are you still wasting time on boring shit that dulls the mind, Veeky Forums?
I kind of understand your reasoning but for me it was the opposite. I read both Dune and Hyperion and both were shite and since those are regarded as the great SF novels I discarded the entire genre. I still like some P.K.Dick novels although I wouldn't classify him as strictly SF.

>that ugly fucking picture with its terrible color economy Why was 70s sci-fi so bad?
Jaxon Bell
the only science fiction I like is either Vonnegut or the occasional well-done short story
Even when I was younger I couldn't stand reading sci-fi and thought it was boring, preferring fantasy over it, but to each their own.
