Actually, I really love classic SF. I just don't think Asimov's the best of the old guys. He usually had interesting stories, I just wasn't fond of the way he chose to tell them.

Heh... at least a quarter the books on my shelves would be considered 'classic' SF... more depending on where the end of classic SF is though I may have more of a liking for 50s and 60s SF than 40s.

I've only read one or two of Asimov's books. My problem with them is more from a philosophical / moral standpoint. As I recall, he basically put robots at least on a level with humans, which bothered me.

Gotta head to work...running late. See you there!
