How did you discover him?

I had heard the name before. His first novel, "The Chosen" won several prizes and sold 3.5 million copies. I'm going to share the book with one of my partners who teaches Sunday School at the Synagogue. Maybe he will help me understand some of the theology.

Shouldn't that be Sabbath School.
Reading "Winner take all politics" very enlightening.

Actually, it's Sunday School - the day after the Sabbath.

Great stuff, Pete.
I just read the Foundation series again, and I Robot. Don't get much better than those.

I not-gay love Asimov, have been since I was knee high to a gnats ass. I like the other greats too, mostly, but he's the king imo. Niven and Puernelle, co-queens?
I was disappointed in the I Robot movie, whatzhisnames attitude didn't really fit the writing style, but some shined through.
