To talk about your weekly readings, be it books, textbooks, papers, etc.
I’m still halfway through “Pale Fire” (been kind of busy this week), but I’ll probably finish it in the next few days. I have to say this is the strangest book I’ve read so far, though it’s fascinating me a lot. I restarted from the beginning and while on my first reading of the “Forward”, Kinbote seemed to be a creepy stalker, on my second reading he’s giving some sociopathic vibes. I’m reading the “Commentary” wondering how much of what Kinbote says is real and considering Shade’s death days after finishing the poem, 
is just writing it on a jail cell or psych ward. Plus, all of the “Zembla” bullshit country he talks about. Though Shade’s poem did mention Zembla, so maybe it’s real? Or maybe Kinbote took it from the poem?

Fricking lol. It’s on me for expecting Hollywood was capable of a good Asimov adaptation but I was looking forward to the show so much and it just made me annoyed every 5 seconds.
I hope one day his books can be done justice by someone like Villeneuve. I personally really enjoyed how he handled the Dune adaptation. He’d be perfect for a Caves of Steel adaptation

The desert planet religious episode was both good and terrible at the same time. Having Daneel create a religion thousands of years before to control the Empire subjects could have been an interesting storyline. But portraying Demerzel as an actual religious and faithful robot, and have it murder a priest because of “her programming”. Did those guys read the source material?
