bookshelves: 5-star, best-of-2021, classic, page-turner, science-fiction, short-stories

This series of gem like stories, each crafted, seemingly, with loving care, but was probably written for a magazine with a deadline, is the best that American SCI FI literature can offer us.

I do consider Nightfall the best short story collection I've ever read. The second is The Complete Short Stories of Hercule Poirot and the 3rd is the Jungle Books by Kipling.

Isaac Asimov never bettered this collection of short stories. Most of his books are unreadable. He was prolific but his work ethic and his upbringing in a nascent Cold War with Russia blunted his longevity in most cases. But not here. This is science fiction at its finest.
