		According to The American Heritage English Dictionary, escapism is "the avoidance of reality through fantasy or other forms of diversion." I do not read SF for escapism, although I do read it for entertainment (which is the same reason I do a lot of my non-fiction reading).
		Reading SF is probably a bad way to learn physics, however, reading it can and should be a good way to learn about what it means to be human.
		And the pursuit of that kind of knowledge is about as far as it's possible to get from escapism.

	Reviews- opinions of the album Escapism, instrumental electronic music by Tiffany Lunn.
		The only (very slight) issue I have is that when listening through headphones particularly, some of the parts have been panned to the left or right (particularly in the introduction to 'Escapism'), but it is a very minor point.
		I like the way the edges are softened with the use of birdsong, water and the xylophone background.
		Escapism does exactly what it says on the label....it takes you away from the stress of life and lets you escape to a better place!, you either fall into one of two categories, you've got Escapism or you haven't, I'm just glad I've got it and you'll be too.
