Or, at the very least, I can brush up on my review and actually have an intelligent conversation about it. Carl V.

Some of them may spill over into February or later in the year, but I owe my renewed interest in Sci-Fi to you (and my son's encouragement... although he goes more for the fantasy books).TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-37332854310149141312013-11-30T14:57:42.577-08:002013-11-30T14:57:42.577-08:00Prashant, I understand.

Demolished Man is one of my favs. Haven't read that Asimov but I imagine I will at some point. I have a few of his books here on my to-read shelf waiting for Andrea's Vintage SF Month in January, if I can wait that long. :)Carl V.
