Travelers

Been following this show for a while, finally nailing the last episode of Series 3 over the weekend. Good enough to keep me coming back .. not good enough to have me binge watch, but a solid show โ€ฆ

๐Ÿ”—Itโ€™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 …
