He's always inspired me to try and be an intelligent, rational person. More people should know Asimov. :o)

Thanks cybersputnik for posting this interview of Asimov. He's always worth listening. I wonder what he'll say about James Cameron's Avatar !

haha, he wrote books on everything in the Dewey decimal system except psychology :] in his stories where he has a psychologist as a character he always portrays them as a big pretentious douche. another reason why asimov is awesome

Agree! Why did he avoid writing about psychology?

He wasn't interested in it. He didn't take to Economics too. He only read and wrote about what interested him, but dammit, he was interested in a LOT!

Vonnegut is good, but his output was a fraction of Asimov's, and only about half of the other two. I think this is why Vonneguts books are a bit more special. Also, he is more satirical than the hard-sci fi of the other guys.

I don't know why I wrote that stupid comment anyway. Vonnegut is literature, not genre fiction.

Breakfast of Champions is one of the greatest American novels ever written.

Breakfast of Champions is unreal. Kilgore Trout is one of my all-time favourite characters. However, it has the luxury of coming much later than Asimov's OPUS "Foundation"... That book is just as good and important to me.

I have read the Foundation trilogy. It was fun- but lacked the profound nature of Vonnegut's writings, IMO.
