It's one of those things that I'd be interested in reading at some point, probably, but not high on my list.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-67923493757232803032017-05-04T00:31:27.115-04:002017-05-04T00:31:27.115-04:00If you like Isaac Asimov I have almost finished re...If you like Isaac Asimov I have almost finished reading his "Foundation" trilogy, which I enjoy for its exploration of sociology<br />and stuff. I was disapointed in the first book because there were no female characters of significance. But he fixed that in the second book, so I am happy again. Also I enjoy his antiquated terminology "Atom-blaster" back in the days were science fiction writers thought that atomic energy could solve all problems. isaacbenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473497879119919285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-81656467050820626762017-05-02T19:53:27.285-04:002017-05-02T19:53:27.285-04:00So far, probably "Robbie" also.So far, probably "Robbie" also.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-77325967575765787252017-05-01T20:42:06.180-04:002017-05-01T20:42:06.180-04:00Yeah!

It's a very sweet story.<br /><br />I know that I read <i>I, Robot</i> once before, about ten years ago, but the only story so far that I've remembered was "Robbie." I generally find Asimov very nicely thought out, but short on emotion, although stories like "Robbie" and "Liar" have plenty of emotion, possibly why I like them best so far.<br /><br />What did you think of it?Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-15088412580318196542017-05-01T17:59:26.419-04:002017-05-01T17:59:26.419-04:00Oh!
