My favorite author of all time!

No one was better at explaining complicated “Stuff” in lay-mans terms like Isaac!

Read a short story called “The Billiard Ball” by Isaac!
A GREAT story dealing with quantum mechanics and speed of light theory .. written in a FUN and EASY reading style that a 12 year old, (like I was) could understand and most importantly .. Enjoy!

Isaac actually wanted to rename the story .. “Dirty Pool”! LOL

Thanks for your comments! (But you obviously didn’t read the previous posts, did you?)

Another (massive) book I got from the Science Fiction Book Club (circa 1968) was ‘The Foundation Trilogy’. I took that book to the shore during the family’s two-week summer vacation and finished it. Great book.

Matter of fact, another rather large book I got from the SFBC was ‘The Past Through Tomorrow’ by my all-time favorite author, Robert Heinlein. Couldn’t put that down, either.

FRegards,
LH
