Again, Asimov

 

I keep thinking that I've bought my last Asimov book, but for one reason or another I still manage to pick one up once in awhile. This was one of the ones I owned a copy of when I was a teenager. I don't remember it at all. But it was only $5, and....

When I went to pay for it, the guy behind the counter asked me if I knew the author. I told him that I did, and that I'd read a number of his books.

The cashier guy replied, "I just put two of his books in the Science section. Non-fiction! Did you know that he wrote NON-FICTION?"

I averred that I did, indeed, know this, and added that Asimov had written over 500 books.

Not to be deterred, the cashier guy said, "But did you know that he wrote NON-FICTION?"

I smiled, nodded, thanked him, left.

At least he was enthusiastic.
