If you've never read any </span><a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?Isaac%20Asimov"><span style="font-family:courier new;">Isaac Asimov</span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;"> - and even if you're not a fan of sci-fi - you owe it to yourself to at least add one (or seven) of his great works to your "to-read" pile. If you prefer galactic sagas, I suggest the <em>Foundation</em> novels. If you're a closet <em>R2-D2</em> or <em>Data</em> fan, you can't go wrong with any of the <em>Robot</em> books.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:courier new;">Asimov was one of the genres most prolific writers. Even his non-fiction is simply oustanding.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:courier new;">So, I declare this <em><strong>Asimov Day</strong></em> - I hope yours is a good one!!!</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Courier New;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">*At least, this the the day that Mr. Asimov himself celebrated - his exact DOB is not known with any certainty.
