absolutely hilarious. it's mind-boggling how densely packed with humor his books are
i just started asimov's 'foundation' trilogy and i'm really enjoying it so far. the only problem is i'm supposed to believe that humans have conquered the galaxy thousands of years in the future and some planets still rely on coal and oil for power? i mean, i guess it's possible but that's the kind of thing that puts a dent in the illusion of the world the author has created (imo). but i suppose that's one of the problems with reading scifi written in the 1960s (even tho 1960s scifi >>>> all other scifi)
oh, and i picked up huxley's 'doors of perception' & 'the perennial philosophy' and i'm looking forward to reading both
