Hey guys, There are just too many books to read. I felt like you about Asimov's I Robot. He was a great, wonderful man -- wrote one of the best intro's to physics I have ever read. I really liked this exchange -- all of it. We pick on each other a lot, but there are wonderful things to share. The best undiscovered book I know is Paul Stewart's (?) The Year of the City (that's exact), about founding a new Greek city in the 5th century B.C. It is a masterpiece. My favorite boy's books of all, are A. Conan Doyle's "The White Company" and "Sir Nigel" the prequel to WC not quite as good. I read them again every few years, and I'm back swinging along on the road to France with Hordle John, Alleyne (that's really me), and the archer Aylward, to fight for the Black Prince against anyone who appears to need a thrashing. I am still annoyed by Alleyne's piety. I like Hordle John theology much better.
