Welcome to Litsy!

Yay, finished another great book by Isaac Asimov, my September #BookSpin also gives me #BookSpinBingo for this month. Still not helping me progress in the Prompt Maze Q3 because it was first published in 1955 but helps me with Prompt Maze Q4 so not all is lost 😃

I can now finally get done my list for November, @TheAromaOfBooks

A portion of human live in Eternity,traveling through the years and making the necessary changes to reality to avoid great evils to happen to the species. With each reality change the people that lived there change or disappear for the greater good,unaware of the existence of Eternity.
Although I loved the premise of the book I couldn't really connect with any of the characters and I got lost in the technical explanations of how Eternity works

"It was as though she were a portion of himself, but a portion sufficiently separate to require speech in communication rather than thought. She was a portion sufficiently separate to be able to answer unpredictable out of independent thought processes." -Isaac Asimov, The End of Eternity

As a lover of time travel and mind bending plot twists, I really enjoyed this. It takes some time to understand the world Asimov creates, but the more I read on, the more it made sense. A second read would make it even better. The big plot twist in the end was almost predictable; there was one unexpected addition to it that I found incredibly satisfying and refreshing. A must-read for sci-fi fans.

"August Sennor, the bald one (not even eyebrows or eyelashes)" ? #fringe #Intriguing #HeyThereAugust

I'm getting the feeling that #Fringe was heavily influenced by this book, especially with the term "Observer." I don't mind, but I'm looking at the show in a completely different light now and it's kind of cool

Asimov is the only writer I know that can confuse me with science fiction jargon while still conveying the deeper point of the story. Bureaucracy is bureaucracy, whether it's the 21st or the 2481st century.
