| Subject: | My firstborn makes me proud...again... |
Before heading back to the Georgia Institute of Technology this morning, firstborn asked me if I had Asimov's "Foundation Trilogy" on my bookshelves. I said yes and grabbed it for him.
The cover price on the paperbacks? $1.75.
He asked if I had an edition that was printed after he was born. I said no, so I ordered new ones for him. How can I complain if he wants to read good SF?
I first read the Foundation Trilogy in my senior year at Brother Martin (75-76). The year before, I took a single-semester English class in Science Fiction (taught by the indomitable Mr. Tony Hartigan), and the trilogy was one of the extended-read projects I didn't pick. Everyone raved about it, so I read it that following summer. To see my son pick it up is a wonderful thing.
