Welcome to Litsy!

59/100 I've never been a big fan of Asimov, I find his writing kind of dry, but I did enjoy the entire Foundation trilogy. The fall of the Galactic empire was predicted by Harry Seldon, and through his Foundation, the dark ages after the fall would only be 1,000 years instead of 30,000. Personally, I think the trilogy gets better as it goes along, but the first book is a solid story with plenty of interesting characters. 4🚀🚀🚀🚀 #ClassicLSFBC

I totally let this slip my mind yesterday. 🐿🧠

Anyhow.... I still did the same as the two previous weeks. Dismal is what I would call it.

My favorite book by far on this list is LOTR. I also liked I, Robot and Foundation both by Isaac Asimov. I will be rereading Foundation this month for #ClassicLSFBC

It was a close vote, but in the end, Foundation prevailed as June's selection for #ClassicLSFBC. A close second was Lord of Light, which will be the selection for July. Copies of Foundation should be available at most libraries, and I've see very cheap copies available on Ebay, the audiobook is available free on Spotify with a premium account. I hope everyone can find a copy to enjoy. @Bookwomble @Ruthiella @TheSpineView @BookmarkTavern

We have a very eclectic selection for June's #ClassicLSFBC. I think any of them would make for a enjoyable read or reread. As usual, the book with the most votes will be for June, and the next closest will be the choice for July. I'll announce the winners on Monday. #ClassicLSFBC

I had this novel backburnered from a #classicLSFBC buddyread, but I‘m happy to have finally read it! Great cover, wacky book. I‘m giving it a low pick bc the idea of humanity entering the space-faring universe as one of the only species not to have a patron to introduce technology led to interesting alien dynamics. But the plot was all over the place - a Jekyll-&-Hyde thing, a murder mystery, oddly timed pov shifts, hand-to-hand fighting… I dunno

(1947)

This is a kind-of sequel to April's #ClassicLSFBC read, “The Weapon Shops of Isher“, and continues the story of Weapon Shop agent Robert Hedrock. Here he investigates rumors about a new interstellar drive ... and finds himself condemned to death both by the Empire and the Weapon Shop. This was conceived as a single story so feels more coherent than mashup TWSOI; still, the story takes off in multiple directions for that signature VV style

Since we skipped May for #ClassicLSFBC, it's time to do nominations for June. Nomination from today until the end of the month, then we can vote. I'll get the ball rolling by nominating The Great Time Machine Hoax by Keith Laumer.
