Blades upon Books - Traditionals

[JB in LV]

This is a short read; a friend mailed me after we were talking about books at a casino buffet (I read a lot). I am about 50 pages in, should be able to finish over the weekend. Adam Schefter is a well known football reporter. I had no idea about the rest of this story.

“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give.”--- Thomas Jefferson

I decided to read Isaac Asimov's Robot stories and novels, his Empire novels, and his famous Foundation novels this summer. That may be too ambitious a goal for the summer, given my reduced reading rate at this stage of my life.
But I enjoyed the short stories in The Complete Robot and have completed, and enjoyed, the first two (of four) robot novels, shown below in a single volume.

There's a sequel to that book; I've seen one copy too grubby to buy.

For anyone considering visiting Alcatraz, I recommend the evening cruise. It’s a very interesting site, and some great views of the cities and bridges.

@Rose and Thistle Custom , you’re taking me down memory lane - I have a copy of that old Folk Medicine book, and take a little apple cider vinegar every day, and often use it in cooking too!

And that Forgotten Realms book takes me back to my teen years! Hey, do you think that chain mail armour had a bit of a design flaw?

Never mind, it still looks as hot now as it did then!

What? They maximized freedom of movement and ease of breathing.
I wonder if she was meant to resemble Jane Fonda.

Just finished Asimov's third robot novel, written 26 years after the second novel (1957 and 1983), but the events described are only a couple of years later in Asimov's fictional universe.
