Does /lit/ like Asimov?

I've read a couple of his short stories, just finished the first three Robot series books well as I Robot, now gonna jump into Foundation. I was astonished just how incredibly different I Robot the book was to the movie. Not even in the regular way "hurr durr it's nothing like the book" it is absolutely NOTHING like the book. It's a real shame that there hasn't been and probably never will be a faithful adaptation of his work.

Looking for sci-fi with philosophical underpinnings. Asimov seems like a good start. I have read The Last Question and some of his short stories. What I should I follow it with?

I don't actually know if people check /lit/ at 3am (West Coast Time) but I was wondering which series I should start with in the Foundation Universe. Robot Series, Foundation Series or Empire Series?

Hey /lit/,

Just picked up iRobot again, before I dive into it I was wondering what your thoughts were on this book?

Is Asimov the king of science fiction like I often hear him being labelled?

Hey, c/lit/s. I read books.
More specifically, I read science fiction. And since I see no sci-fi threads anywhere, I'm just gonna make one.

ITT: Post your favorite sci-fi book and/or author.

Hey /lit/, it's spring break and my campus is empty - I'm still here, taking advantage of the peace and quiet to get some work done.

I'm in the science building study lounge and I start browsing the the shelves of books. I've never done it before now because it just looks like a bunch of old outdated textbooks.

However, in the middle of one shelf I found two dozen science fiction paperbacks - about half Asimov, and the rest Herbert, Vonnegut, etc.

Jackpot.

Question: Is it okay to steal these?
