We had a smaller group tonight, which in itself is a bit of a wonder because who would have guessed that we would keep this going for eight full months, add on several new members, and are now defining “smaller group” as seven people? Well done us!
For those who have read more of the Foundation series, the discussion tonight easily segued into future plot contrivances that Asimov has set up in this book, for those who are very familiar with his robot series (I am so proud of us for being able to quote his three laws, then debate exact wording without referencing any book – again, well done) it was hard not to applaud Baley and Daneel walking off into the sunset together and waxing poetic about real robots and how awesome that will be, and for those unfamiliar with Asimov they didn’t show up tonight.
As discovered by Dean, this is a top ten list of science fiction detective novels. Dean writes: ” I was pleased to see that two of them are already on our upcoming schedule (and a third is sitting on my desk).”
Take a gander! Any you would like to see on the book list?
