    Will be reading this if you think it’s worth it.

    I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi (Asimov, Heinlein). How does it hold up?

    And before someone eats me alive about Heinlein, I’ve heard it all. Been a fan since I was a kid and the ideological side of it doesn’t matter to me as much as the stories these days. I’m an atheist because of authors like him. I wouldn’t take it back for anything.

      If you like old school scifi you’ll probably like it. It’s a grand opera. Prolog to the first book is online here:

        “This is my blood” was actually a miscommunication, he meant that the cup he was holding was his and it was full of blood he didn’t want to share.

      It’s like The Canterbury Tales in space. It’s four books, but the first one stands on its own.

      The first book is phenomenal. The others are good, but not necessarily “must read”

      Strange to me to our Asimov and Heinlein in the same genre. That’s like when I start Spotify Radio from Cheryl Crow and get Metallica and Green Day because Spotify thinks I’m looking for “90s music”

        They’re both definitely scfi and I have enjoyed all that I have read of them.

        I will say, I haven’t read a lot of them since I was a teenager and I’m old now.

        Still though, robots, moon people, mars people, dude being thrown from universe to universe.

        It’s pretty clear to me why it’s the same genre.
