Male Female

Two months ago, I was with my girlfriend visiting a library called Tornamesa, located in Bogota. She was looking for a specific book about the relationship between a mother and son. She had watched a movie related to that topic, and suddenly she said, "Hey, would you like to read a book?" This unexpected surprise made me think a lot because I wasn't really planning on reading anything at that time. So I started browsing different sections until I found a book by an author named Joseph Scalice, who writes science fiction. I picked it up and started reading it. However, I haven't been able to read it as much as I'd like because my obligations don't allow me to dedicate enough time to it. I want to keep reading it because science fiction is something that appeals to me. It enhances our imagination. We don't know when we'll be able to colonize Mars, but this book explores the idea of a colonized Mars. Science, space travel, these things sounded like science fiction a while ago, but now they're a possibility in the not-so-distant future. I haven't finished it yet, but I want to do it soon.
