nihil, Glad to hear that Asimov Robot is good--it was the first set of SF I gave CW. He had read William Sleator in 6th grade and loved every one so I was looking for another author in that genre to keep him reading. He's also read all the Foundation series, and the HItchhiker's Guide. LAst night I asked the boys your influential books question and to my chagrin, they definitely did not say "Aristotle" or the "Dialectics". CW said, Asimov and then hit an impasse. Ammo said Jaws and It. So much for all the great literature we read aloud, and all those honors English courses. That'll teach me to get smug.

I have gotten behind on my reading in the last several years. I can probably find a couple of dozen books I have bought and not had the time to read on the shelves. And now I'm off to barnesandnoble.com to check out these new recommendations by you and steve. And I also want to buy a couple of out of print books about the exploits of my names sake in Russia during the revolution written by R. Bruce Lockhart. He was the British envoy to Russia at the time and got the credit/blame for the Lockhart plot, a plan to overthrow the reds in favor of the "white russians". It failed because a social revolutionary shot Lennin prematurely.
