My love of science fiction was kindled when my father (my other hero) gave me his copy of "I, Robot" when I was nine years old (might even have been a little younger than that). Luckily for me he had a treasure trove of SF in both hardcover and paperback; Pohl, Clarke, Niven, Card and many others. My great-grandparents were also Russian Jews who came to this country about the same time that Isaac did so I feel a deep connection with him. It may seem strange, but one of my dreams growing up was to meet Isaac Asimov. Alas, to my regret, I never did. Reading such personal accounts of him is the next best thing to having met him. Thank you. Being a great fan of yours, I hope that I'll have the good fortune to meet you, especially as I am now an aspiring science fiction writer (just got an honorable mention in Writers of the Future).

Maybe I'll get all the books out of storage and read them again. Thanks for sharing, I haven’t read Foundation in quite a while. Maybe I’ll get all the books out of storage and read them again.

That was a fun read and very interesting too. Life affirming as well. Did you guys have New York accents back then? The comments above made me wonder about that. When I read your blog, I imagine your voice as midwestern--I suppose because I was born and raised in the midwest. Yay! That was a fun read and very interesting too. Life affirming as well.

Young Isaac was wise enough to figure out a solution for his problems. I'm not surprised. Thank you for sharing that with your readers.
