After reading a dozen Isaac Asimov books (or about 0.1% of his books), someone said I absolutely must read this book. I was like sure, science fiction plus comedy seems good. This then became one of those books that, in my early life, defined who I was. Of course it has been a while since I read them, and I often do question whether a teenage version of myself really had good taste, but I unequivocally support my younger self's support of this book.
