I find that I can enjoy any book based on the quality of the story and writing, I don't require it to fit into my own perspectives. If I did, I wouldn't be able to enjoy almost anything, as no one has my particular perspective.
You are right about Asimov's style, it hasn't aged great. But he was an intellectual at heart, so his writing fits his personality.
- LegitShady 7y agoevery writer should be interpreted in their context. I dont understand requiring asimov, who had so many interesting ideas and stories, to conform to today's gender concepts or judging him on them. People who need their author/actor/etc to be exactly like themselves are probably racist.
- KineticLensman 7y agoYes, totally agree on your point. I still enjoy Asimov, but stand by my original comment that he is one of those authors whose writing doesn't tick some boxes that are now considered important.
