Yeah, That'd be my guess, that I have not really read "good" sci-fi but mainly it's because I just don't find a reason to, even when I know which ones are good sci-fi.
By science-intense I meant actual real science books :P I probably did not use the proper term, but for example books I enjoy reading are works by scientist. I enjoyed newton's Principia Mathematica, Opticks, Eintein's special relativity up to hawking's books. They're quite enjoyable to me. I mainly like physics books, but I also like reading from topics that I am not comfortable with, because I know nothing on them, so I read about them. To me that's the point of reading :P But for example, I am currently reading the insanely long version of "on the origin of species" by charles darwin because I realised that even when everyone knows he created the theory of evolution almost nobody has actually read his writings, I sure know nobody that has, but maybe that's just not something people read in El Salvador.
Then there's architectural books. Which I hate. Being an architect myself I hate them all. to me there's two kinds of architectural books, ones with nothing but pictures and blueprints and some description of the works presented and then there's "books with letters" which I hate. Because most of those books are "theories of urbanism" or "theories of public space" or some other topic on architecture, but being an architect myself I almost always have something contradicting said writings, because pretty much always it's an author's opinion and well, I'm a very conflictive person :P I always have something against other people's theories and end up getting mad and saying "why the hell am I reading this crap"
But yeah.
