Something else I’ve been reading as a part of my attempt to kickstart my brain into anyother sort of gear than neutral is Isaac Asimov’s Azazel.

So instead of working on things I should’ve (like that project I’m working on with Tom Abba) I’ve been laughing at Asimov’s witty short stories that are distinctly not standard Asimov fair (in a good way, like the way that his standard fair is standard Asimov fair in a good way as well).

The best way to describe it is to say that he is “doing a Wodehouse.”

Again, in a good way.

Not quite the comic genious that PG Wodhouse was, but witty and smart in its own way.

A pleasant surprise that I found in hardcover for 70 pence in a “Save the Children” store.

Pleasant and charitable. Like most good things.
