I revisited my book list this evening and was delighted to realize that years back I'd purchased a copy of Asimov's Robot Dreams short story collection but had never finished reading it. I quickly retrieved the book and instantly recalled why I'd purchased it - not only did it contain both of my favorite stories, (The Last Question and The Last Answer), but it also includes eight other Multivac stories which I'm excited to explore.

Just read The Machine That Won the War and smiled at the oh-so-Asimov ending.

It's like a surprise Christmas gift to myself!

The Tower of Swallows by Aznjdrez Sapkowski

I listened to The Last Wish, The Sword of Destiny, and The Blood of Elves on Audible during the semester while working out or walking around campus because there just wasn't enough time for personal reading. I just plowed through The Time of Contempt and Baptism of Fire over the course of a week and want to try and get this done by the end of the week. With the academy coming up in less than 3 weeks I want to squeeze in as much personal reading as I possibly can.

Not sure what I think of this one so far though. It keeps on with Sapkowski's usual style of writing, wherein you're shown the aftermath of important events and then the context is filled in later throughout the novel. The last book almost exclusively focused on Geralt and his annoying angsty phase, so I suspect this book will be more focused on Ciri and Yennifer.
