butler2.jpgI’m not much of a science fiction reader.  Recently, though, I saw an interview with Octavia Butler.  I’ve perused her books with titles such as, “Kindred,” “Parable of the Sower,” Parable of the Talents,” and “Wild Seed.”  Obviously, the Biblical allusions catch my eye as well as the some of story lines but I don’t know where to start.

Are you an Octavia Butler fan?  I’d love to be educated on her work:  What do you think is her best novel?  Why do you read her books?
