Litsy

I'm rubbish at remembering individual short stories, so allow me to present 3 of my favourite short story collections...

1) The Complete Robot (Asimov)
2) The Thirteen Problems (Christie)
3) Someone who will love you in all your damaged glory (Bob-Waksberg)

Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author

dabbe Collections most definitely work--more stories to read that way! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 1mo

I, Robot | Isaac Asimov

I can only imagine how futuristic and ahead of its time this sounded when first published. AI and robots becoming free-thinkers? We‘ve seen a burst of AI books hit the shelves over the past few years (or it seems that way to me), so I decided to read the one that‘s been sitting on mine for years. And I loved it.

Aimeesue That cover is absolutely perfect. 🩶 3mo

Kristy_K I know! I found it back when Book Depository was around and I wish I would have bought the rest of Aimov‘s books when I had the chance. 3mo

Readerann I was surprised at how much I liked this! 3mo

Kristy_K @Readerann Same, I didn‘t think I would enjoy it as much as I did! 3mo

Asimov's Mysteries | Isaac Asimov

so-so

02/150 I've read and enjoyed a lot of books by Isaac Asimov, but this sadly isn't one of them. A collection of science fiction mystery stories, most were a little too heavy on the science and light on the mystery. I did enjoy "I'm In Marsport Without Hilda" and "Obituary", more for their humor than the mystery aspect. If you're new to Asimov's work, I don't recommend this as a starting point. 3 ⭐⭐⭐

RamsFan1963 2nd book finished for #JumpStart2024 @Lizpixie and #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 4mo

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 4mo

DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳Great job! Onto the next👋🏻👋🏻 4mo

An interview from a journalist with renowned Robopsychologist Susan Calvin who worked for U.S. Robots. Stories are individually told from the beginning of the use of robots as Nannies to the powerhouse Machines that run the world, Dr Calvin has been there every step of the way. An interesting take on societies‘ reliance and yet aversion to robots. Are robots built to protect humans from themselves? Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please Explain | Isaac Asimov

This entire family was murdered by Hamas barbarians on Saturday. 240 innocent festival attendees were slaughtered on Saturday. Another 60 are believed to have been taken hostage into Gaza. Most are young woman. TODDLERS abducted from their homes are currently being kept captive in cages 💔💔💔 And people across the globe are celebrating the bravery of the “resistance fighters”. Please explain to me how anyone can celebrate such atrocities?!?

MicheleinPhilly Jesus. 💔 7mo

eanderson 😭 That‘s terrible… honestly there was absolutely no reason whatsoever for this to happen to anyone. Prayers for 🇮🇱 Israel! Prayers for you and everyone ‘s safety. I cannot even imagine what you all are going through. ✡️ (edited) 7mo

Librarybelle 💔 7mo

Ruthiella I‘m so sorry Cindy. 💔 7mo

JenReadsAlot No words for how appalling this is... 7mo

Cinfhen I know!!!! These images and stories are appalling/ completely incomprehensible @Librarybelle @eanderson @Megabooks @Sungirl79 @CoffeeAndABook @MicheleinPhilly and the mainstream media won‘t share these images and stories even though Hamas is splashing them all over social media on every platform. They took videos and selfies and uploaded them. It‘s sheer depravity 😭😭😭 7mo

Cinfhen I can‘t even believe this is our current reality @Ruthiella @JenReadsAlot if this doesn‘t scream Germany 1939 nothing does!!! 7mo

eanderson Cindy, this is pure evil. I hope and pray that judgment comes their way and they pay for their crimes. 7mo

Cinfhen I am completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support here on Litsy!! Thank you friends 😘In the darkest of times you see who the real heroes are!! 7mo

Cinfhen @eanderson Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️ 7mo

Soubhiville It‘s an unbelievable atrocity. Overwhelming heartbreak. 💔😢 7mo

Deblovestoread I have no words…how can this happen…haven‘t we learned anything? I‘m so sorry this is happening. 💔 7mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This is so devastating 💔 Are you safe where you live?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻 7mo

marleed Omg. I‘m in tears reading this and looking at this beautiful family. Thank you for sharing this. I am sickened. 7mo

LeeRHarry 💔 Beyond comprehension. Just horrific. Keeping you and yours in my thoughts Cindy. 7mo

BarbaraJean You have been in my thoughts & prayers, and I just came to your feed to see how you're doing. All of this is so unthinkable and so heartbreaking. My heart goes out to you and to all of the victims and their families. I will continue to be praying for you (and everyone affected). 💔 🙏 💔 7mo

BarbaraBB So sad this is happening to you, your family, your country, the world. So appalled by this 💔💔 7mo

Dragon It‘s heartbreaking 💔 7mo

julesG 💔💔💔 7mo

Cinfhen Friends, every comment you share with me is like 1000 watts of light and love. I am in a very dark place but you all give me hope. THANK YOU, truly @julesG @Dragon @BarbaraBB @BarbaraJean @LeeRHarry @marleed @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Deblovestoread @Soubhiville 7mo

Anna40 Try not to read about people cheering terrorists on. Focus on whatever makes you feel close to the victims. Grieve or pray but shut those news and images out. Maybe your local synagogue organises a stand with Israel event? My heart is broken - no words. Sending you love and hugs ❤️ 7mo

Cinfhen @Anna40 I can‘t find the words to express my gratitude for your heartfelt message. It‘s true. The reciting of prayers is actually helping me very much. It‘s giving me solace and comfort in my beliefs. Thank you for taking the time to comment and offer advice and support. Light always prevails 7mo

Anna40 ❤️❤️❤️ 7mo

sblbooks It's completely unfathomable that people could celebrate this. I stand with Israel, you have all my support and prayers. Please stay safe! ❤🙏 7mo

britt_brooke Been thinking of you, Cindy. 🫶🏼 There are no words. 7mo

Cinfhen Thank you @MaureenMc @britt_brooke Today we attended a funeral for our friend‘s son. He died as part of the dog search & rescue team. He was 26 years old. Totally Senseless. I don‘t think anyone in this country will EVER be the same. 7mo

britt_brooke @Cinfhen 😔 7mo
