February 2019: Isaac Asimov

For February, we'll be reading Isaac Asimov.

I'm glad he was nominated because I've never read anything by him. How about you? Have you read any books by Asimov previously?

What do you plan to read (or re-read) this month?

I've read Foundation and I, Robot. I always meant to continue on with the Foundation series!

I recently read I, Robot and a few years back I read The Ugly Little Boy

>2 Yells:

For the record, I, Robot and Foundation are both on the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list, so you've made progress on that!

I'm planning to read I, Robot next month ... if the book comes in on time. I put a library hold on the audiobook, of which there's only one copy & it's checked out at the moment. Guess everyone is into to Asimov right now ;)

>4 sweetiegherkin: That is exactly why I read them :)

>5 Yells: Nice!

My hold did come in so I'll be starting I, Robot soon.

Today I finished up I, Robot. It was not what I was expecting -- I hadn't realized beforehand it was basically a collection of short stories rather than one continuous narrative. That wasn't bad per se, but I'm not the hugest short story fan. Definitely some food for thought in its pages though.
