$4 of Asimov Gold


Walked into a Borders and there she was; "Gold", Isaac Asimov's final short story collection. Enjoying it so far. Though all I have read is the forward by Orson Scott Card. His admiration for science fiction's late statesman brings a tear to the eye and an elation of spirit. Makes you want to write.

Two pages into the first story. It's a first person account of a robot's life experience. Simple and inspired. Hope it ends well.

Got a copy of "The Fountainhead" for Christmas, need to pick it up and keep reading. Love the language Rand uses. Unique but not cryptic. I look forward to understanding better the idea of objectivism. Seems like the world could use it right now. Too bad people don't read anything from before 2003. Purpose driven bastards.

Lets all go to the lobby.
