i wanted to do some legal stuff this weekend and will instead need to do it this week. i'm going to hope it won't take more than a few days.
and, that's it for short stories for a while, which means i should get some novel reading done in bed over the weekend, which is always faster - the last two robot novels this weekend, the three empire novels next weekend and then i'll have to spend i think three weekends with the seven foundation novels, i think - the two prequels one weekend, the three historical collections the next and then the two extra ones at the end.
i'll then try to finish asimov's mysteries & the winds of change the next week, and focus on the other novels last: the end of eternity & the gods themselves, the fantastic voyage II & nemesis and then the three silverburg novels, the positronic man, the ugly little boy and nightfall.
the last foundation novel was published in 1993 and the three silverburg texts were published in 1992. so, the reviews will be slightly anachronistic, but that's ok. i actually read the foundation texts in grade 6, so it must have been just released (something i didn't realize, i don't think). and, i'm going to do the silverburg texts for sure because i think these are actually three of his stronger short stories. i wasn't sure at first.
i will not pay any attention to any texts commissioned by other authors, after asimov's death, and hope we don't have to differentiate between asimov and pseudo-asimov one day in the future.
that means i should get this done in early february. i hope.
