I'm still deep into my I Love Isaac Asimov Revival *...which started with the reading of his Foundation prequels and sequels and included the re-reading of his original Foundation Trilogy in between (7 books in all), then proceeded through The Early Asimov and A Whiff of Death....
And you know what? I think I need some more Asimov. I'd previously purchased In Memory Yet Green: The Autobiography of Isaac Asimov, 1920–1954, In Joy Still Felt: The Autobiography of Isaac Asimov, 1954–1978, I. Asimov: A Memoir, and Yours, Isaac Asimov: A Life in Letters, and I was looking forward to moving in that direction, but after reading A Whiff of Death I really wanted to read some more mystery stuff, so I ordered Asimov's Mysteries. But it's still a few days away from delivery, and this morning I went online to look for an interview with Asimov, found a segment he did with David Letterman and started listening to that, and Asimov mentioned a book he'd written on the first eleven chapters of Genesis, and I decided that I really needed to read THAT next, so I went to see where I could find a copy. I looked and looked. The cheapest I could find was a $20 beat to death copy on eBay, but just before clicking that button I decided to take another look around, and this time I found this on Better World Books:
Yep.
If you love books, you should check out Better World.
* My first I Love Asimov Fest began when I was of a tender age...probably during junior high school, though I couldn't tell you for sure...when I read something like one hundred of The Good Doctor's books, including science fiction, science fact, and another thing or two.
