- Is this autobiography the one that Asimov had planned, to follow _In Memory
- Yet Green_ and _In Joy Still Felt_? I loved those books, and always hoped
- Asimov would live to continue them. I suppose the question is: did Asimov
- assemble his third volume over time, so that it is as rich as the first two,
- or was _I, Asimov_ a last-minute scribble, done when he realized he was dying?
- The first two books are the best example of how a good writer can make a
- fascinating story out of anything, including the day-to-day doings (told in
- incredible detail) of himself.
