I've always really wanted to write science fiction stories, but I realise it's a difficult genre to to write in, because, when you look at who the great science fiction writers were, they all seem to have had friends who were eminent scientists.

I read somewhere that unless you have a great understanding of the latest theoretical science it is impossible to make science fiction writing credible.
Basically that good science fiction writers are very well connected to the academic science world.

Is it true that it's a waste of time even trying to write science fiction unless your friends are scientists?

My teacher suggest me always to read a lot of literature. Also Protect the time and space in which you write. Keep everybody away from it, even the people who are most important to you. But its really hard to be a perfect writer thats why I use help of https://gpalabs.com/buy-lab-report.html during writing college papers

I feel like all scifi really comes down to some bullshit magic stuff at some point. Didn't some great mind say any of the modern technology would appear to be magic to the past? Just think of the most insane thing you can and call it electricity. Wah lah

After the quarantine, the world will change. Who knows what else this year can surprise us with? I propose to distract from this fuss and pay attention to https://casinospieles.de/casino-bonus/ohne-einzahlung/mobile/. A bonus offer is a great way to keep you in a good mood and increase your chances of winning. This is an opportunity to earn even more. But more on that below. Stick to it and do your research.

Anti-intellectual prose, monarch butterflies, walking aphrodisiacs and anthropomorphic sperm. Encompassing sexuality, embracing the future, puking antibiotics, dropping napalm on the Louvre.

Not that bad of a read. May print out a copy if I can redo the size and font.

This book seems too difficult, but I've been told that it is necessary if you're really into literature and wanna start a lifelong reading. Should I drop it or pursue? And what are some of the alternatives to it?

From the title I'm guessing a third grade English textbook would be a good substitute

>lifetime reading

Did someone stop you from reading OR ask to hold an examination in %your_picrelated%? Stop whoring attention and go read somepin' as'ome!

>I've been told

And what if I tell you that your mum is hoe and your dad is cuck?

Srsly, how is rhetoric related to reading? Mb I'm a total retard and "lifelong reading" = being a belles-lettres reviewer - then it has at least some logic. And even in this case you wouldn't need to study rhetorics. Divide spoken and written speach, anon.

Any avid readers more interested in action adventure novels? I'm looking for ones that are more niche.

You should check out Black Opal by (IIRC) Stephen Heisel. It was a really good read, got pretty risque out of nowhere for a second too

Check out the sea stories of Percy Westerman like Mystery Island, Nameless Island and Midshipman Raxworthy. They are classic old adventure stories.

What does /lit/ think of Melville? I am on page two of the first chapter of Moby Dick. What are some of his strengths and weaknesses that stand out the most, and what should I expect?
