I (heart) Asimov

I’ve been reading through more Asimov lately. Most recently “The Caves of Steel” and “The Naked Sun”, I’ve read through both books in under 2 weeks and now I’m onto his third book “The Robots of Dawn”. So far they have been incredibly addicting. I’m either up until 1 am every night reading or when I am not reading I’m thinking about how much I want to be reading his Robot series.

I completed all his Foundation series, and despite what people claim, I think his later work is much better and stories are more of pageturners. Speaking of which, it’s nearly impossible to let down his books once I start reading. His language is so captivating and the story leaves me hanging by a thread from one moment to the next. Generally at 1 am I just have to call it quits no matter how good it is and resume reading the next day.

I read a couple other interesting books lately, most notable “The Postmortal” and “Ready Player One”. I highly suggest both books, although the postmortal is a depressing book given that it deals with death, it is still excellent science fiction.

Once I’m done with these next two books, Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire I will either take on Asimov’s “Empire” series or move on to Jurassic Park and Dune before coming back to Asimov once again.
