I. AsimovI. Asimov by Isaac Asimov
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After watching the Foundation series on Amazon Prime, I found the Prelude and then this autobiography on Kindle. I wish I had found it as an audiobook. The text-to-speech voice didn’t feel as good as an actual voice. Because of that, I may go and buy the Audible version.

If you are a writer, if you love sci-fi, if you love Isaac Asimov as much as I have most of my life, I think you will enjoy this book. He relates much of his life, but also shares his writing style and drive.

And he does it all with a sense of humor. I didn’t expect that. I found myself giggling and fearing I’d wake my husband.

If you get the chance, check it out. I think you’ll love it, too.

Prelude to Foundation (Foundation, #6)Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After bingeing Foundation on Prime, I was determined to relive my teen romp in Asimov land. At 76, I can remember the library, the shelf, and checking out each of his books, I, Robot and Foundation series. But I couldn’t remember anything about the Foundation series. So I decided to reread them all. Instead of starting with the original three, I started with the more recently written, Prelude.

I have always loved Isaac Asimov’s writing, but they were a slow slog to get through, with the science taking precedence over the fantasy-leaning of other sci-fi novels by other authors. I found that, back in the day, his work was far less misogynistic. I think that it was that he just didn’t have many women in his books. And at least they didn’t fall into the arm-candy, bimbo, or crone categories.

Prelude gives us an intro to Hari. I found it as hard to get through as I loved the no-nonsense writing. So I will continue the series. Maybe I’ll finish before the next season streams. I was so happy to find the Kindle version of the book with text-to-speech on Libby.
