We're used to Jen bein' insulting. It's what she does.

Now, now ...
Jen is just not into Asimov ... or racing.
I remember seeing Petty go fast --- and NASCAR is an acquired taste. <old lady voice>Younguns might prefer Jeff Gordon or that there Andretti boy.</old lady voice>
Classic SF is also very much an acquired --- and generationally-influenced --- taste. I see Zenna Henderson as a great SF writer; others may prefer Lois McMaster Bujold or Orson Scott Card, even though Bujold and Card see Henderson as their chief influence.
In short, our Jen is an iconoclast.
