He wrote 40 novels and a lot of short stories, and is a great read almost always. He also wrote textbooks because he was just amazing.

Well, presumably more than a few dozen light years away. A few dozen lightyears is nothing on a cosmic scale.
Great times!
Introducing my daughter to Trek this year, just wrapped up S4 of DS9 a few weeks ago and S3 of Voyager the week after.
We have a few more months of golden age Trek… soaking it in.
Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.
Mayo clinic says yes though.
People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.
Ah, I could see that. It can be read either way, but I think the author intended it to be read this way. ‘Wow!’ As the reaction to the father’s statement that he won’t have to work if he does something he loves.
Yes how is the text supposed to for?
1·2 months agoInteresting read. Thank you.

Red rocket, standing by.

If you’re still using live journal in 2024, you should win SOMETHING.
Yep. I found it fascinating. I think the version I had probably had a forward from Asimov talking about how we were wrong about guesses about Venus.
I don’t remember much else from the story except this, and the big reveal of the whodunnit. (Or more accurately the how).
There was a young adult sci fi series by Asimov called ‘Lucky Starr’ and I remember Venus was Oceanic in that one. Old old series.
Isaac Asimov is considered one of the greats of 20th century science fiction. Again, while most famous for writing science fiction he wrote much more than just that.
Isaac Asimov has won scores of Hugo Awards for stories and for Best Editor; dozens of Nebula Awards; several World Fantasy Awards; over a dozen Theodore Sturgeon Awards and Homer Awards; and multiple Sidewise Awards1. He has won Hugo Awards for Best Related Work, Best Novelette, and Best Editor.
