🔗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.

My working theory has always been that both things can be true: Henry Blodget really is an idiotic jackass ..

I don’t always agree with Mr. Gruber but I do always read him and that quote right there is one of the reasons.
