so, rather than keep reposting those two huge posts, i've decided to create a page for asimov:

https://dsdfghghfsdflgkfgkja.blogspot.com/p/isaac-asimov.html

this will link from the book review page, which is on the side:

https://dsdfghghfsdflgkfgkja.blogspot.com/p/book-reviews.html

i will intend to do something like that for each author, as i work through the list, although most will not require as much effort.
