Finished book
Apr. 21st, 2005 10:58 amJust finished "I, Robot" by Asimov. Part of the "You mean you haven't read that??" series. Was definitely worth it. I don't think of myself as a short story person, but it was basically a set of short stories strung together, all in one world, all organized by time. Had always been intimidated by the seriousness and classicness of Asimov - my mother used to read him, and I think I decided that it was thus too grown-up for me. :) Glad I tried it.
Sadly, a bit of a quick read. I guess not surprising, as it is half the thickness of most of the books I read. A quarter of the thickness of some of them. But 3 days seems a bit fast.
Bought Caves of Steel to keep going. Would you believe that the Borders on Rt. 9 in Framingham has a better selection of the classics of Sci Fi than Pandemonium. Shameful I tell you. Picked up Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and Vernes' "Journey to the Center of the Earth", as I am genetically incapable of buying Just One Book in a bookstore.
