Incidentally, my sister has read practically every single one of Agatha Christie's novels - and she wrote, what, 80 of them? :eek:

You haven't read Isaac Asimov and you call yourself a writer? He's one of my favorite authors of all time. He's known for his science fiction work but his nonfictions are even more incredible.
I'm so upset that I think I will
you a bit more.
PS I,Robot took so much liberty with the ideas presented in Asimov's Robot novels and short stories, I almost felt physically sick watching it. I would have been a lot happier it they hadn't made the connection between the movie and his works. Asimov's robot shor stories featuring Susan Calvin are some of the examples of most-intellectualling-challengin and emotionally-satisfying SF stories of all time. Trep, you really need to get your hands on Asimov's short stories. If I know anyone who would enjoy them, it would be you.
