6. Foundation and Earth - Isaac Asimov *

I have to say this wasn't a very good book. It picks up right where Foundations Edge ends, and ties together more of Asimov's worlds, but it wasn't very enjoyable or all that interesting.

7. Iorich - Steven Brust

Now this book was a lot of fun. It is the latest novel in the Vlad series and was a quick and enjoyable read.

Love Brust. I think I need to get him on the audiobooks-for-our-commute rotation...

Love Brust.

Same here. I don't consider the Vlad books his best work, but they more then make up for it by just being a fun read.

I really enjoyed "The Phoenix Guards" and "Five Hundred Years After" for both the story and style he achieved.

I have to see the second you mentioned...I know I've read the first. Think I need to get a new copy of "To Reign in Hell", too :)

Another really good one! If I reread books it would be on my list :)

I don't tend to re-read, either, but it helps that klynn330 hasn't read much of what I've read, and vice-versa, so some of the better books I can manage to suffer through again via audiobooks in the car during our commute to and from work ;)

The older I got the less impressed I was with Asimov.

Do you think that is because of your maturity or that his stories didn't age well?

I recall enjoying a lot of his stuff when I was younger, but I don't remember enough details to know why I did.

I think Asimov has some really good, interesting ideas. But his stories seemed to be about those ideas instead of the characters.
