Asimov - 100

Talking of Asimov I have tried reading The Gods Themselves, but found it hard going for some reason. Might have to try again. Though I wasn't keen on some of his stuff, he was always my favourite SF personality, if you know what I mean. I got to know him, read his biographies and such. I was gutted when I discovered he'd died. It was like losing someone you know!

Not profitable enough to keep in copyright by estates or just really old.
Lots of Asimov is still profitable.

Feel pretty much the same way. I was impressed with what Asimov was doing with his concept in The God's Themselves but found the story itself a bit slow. No problem with the Hugo it received, he did do a slam bang job of alien building.
