So clearly I have an Asimov Problem. 

I have no intention of trying to read all of his books...my problem is not THAT big. And my life is not that long--the man wrote over 500 books, after all. 

And I certainly did not intend to buy any more Asimov books. Until I saw this at Half-Price Books:

Which was enough in and of itself (I mean...check out the gap in that blastula!), but when turned it over and saw this

Mr. DeMille?

I mean...YOWza.

I no longer had the option not to put my $3 down for this. 

So another bottle of Asimov beer on the wall.
