You do have a fascinating library. I agree that Asimov was remarkably influential, and in ways that make people want to be creative.

I'm not a prolific reviewer as I don't have the time (today being Memorial Day in America, I do have time, but only a little; tomorrow it's back to working life) Here is a link to one of the best and most prolific fiction reviewers I've found so far on LT:

Oops! I meant Salzburg. It HAS been a long time!

Well, welcome to LT. It's addictive and a great resource for ideas on what to read next. I was in Austria many years ago, but just the pretty,leafy city of Strasbourg. I was born in Geneva to American parents on a two-year honeymoon. I've travelled around Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy and France. Just had my DNA done; it showed that, even though I look Scots-Irish and have a Scots-Irish name, my DNA is strictly German and today, the populations I match are the German ones that settled up and down the east coast of Brazil in the 1830's.......Someday I'll learn to speak German!

Read your review of Gatsby. I agree wholeheartedly. It may be the perfect novel given its economy and beauty of language and its coverage of American morality, social strata, representation of time and place; and it packs together a mystery and a love story. It remains one of the best American novels to date, I think.
