🔗It’s not the colour of the pill that counts
Happened to be talking about Asimov to a friend of mine the other day. We both had read ‘everything’ he had written - and certainly for me I know that will not be true, but definitely I hit the 45 to 50 books range - I can still picture them on my my book shelf in my teenage bedroom.
BUT - we both agreed that the reading was a long time ago - and not sure if they would stand the test of time - based on writing quality (?) Not sure that is the right term.
So interesting to see this today …
among Isaac Asimov’s many faults, his total lack of interest in characters meant some deft footwork by the writers of the Foundation television series.

Yes - that is probably it. I don’t recall him being an ‘emotional’ writer, which as a teen I didn’t miss. It was the ideas that I was after.
