Yeah I’m the same, this way he’s not getting the money? It’s all for charity. Donated books.

I figure, if it's used, get them. No point in letting a book go to waste. I saw American Gods, Good Omens, and Anansi Boys at the used bookstore recently and grabbed all of them.

edit: Wow, I also bought a couple by Isaac Asimov. We seem to be catching up on the same authors, lol.

My read Asimovs, not included stuff he’s been editor on like anthologies.

And up until today my too be read Asimovs, I am actually currently reading Nine Tomorrows, couple repeats unfortunately.

I enjoyed watching American Gods, the wife enjoyed Good Omens with me. So we will likely pirate the finale episode when it’s out.

Dang, that is a nice collection! I picked up Foundation's Edge and Asimov's Guide to Science (apparently, originally titled The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science). Those are the only two things of his that I have. I've been wanting to read I, Robot for years, though.

Foundations and his larger universe is fantastic. There’s a few issues as he didn’t decide to combine them until 20 years after starting, but it flows enough.

I'm looking forward to it -- I went back to the same bookstore yesterday and found a copy of The Foundation Trilogy.

If you can find a used copy, the graphic novel version of Stardust by Charles Vess is GLORIOUS.
