I really liked the book on the “The Mule”. I don’t remember which one it was; I read it a really long time ago.

Asimov was okay, but for world building I liked Herbert, Niven, and Pournelle better — especially Niven and Pournelle. There’s lots of others: Card, Varley, Pohl, etc.

Thanks, Charles. Real life definitely got in the way recently. I’m happy to see the archives appreciated!

Bah to aesthetics and humanism. It’s a breezy read and it makes you think. I’ll take it over Kant any day.

Asimov used to be ridiculously over-hyped, but at his best he was pretty good. Not everything that’s over-hyped sucks.

Thank G*d you’re back. You post so reliably that you missed a week and I feared for your health.

I glance at every post.

Also, your indexing and archives are a great public service!
