Robot Stories

I've developed an obsession with robots. I've always liked them a lot. I thought about my obsession earlier today, trying to figure out why. Maybe if I go to Yahoo Answers and post a question about it, I may recognize what makes robots appealing to other people that I find appealing as well. I love the writing of Isaac Asimov and I've been reading quite a bit of his work for the past year. I liked "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Mirror Image" with Detective Elijah Baley and his robot partner Daneel Olivaw. I liked "Mirror Image" because it was a mystery and "Satisfaction Guaranteed" was a romance, which is why I think that I liked it. I've also read Asimov's Robot Novels -- more mystery -- and Robot Visions a collection of his short stories.

Enough about robots. The new Superman flick will be released on the 26th and I look forward to seeing it. It'll be interesting to see someone as Superman besides Christopher Reeves. The new guy's name's Brandon Routh. I'll add a picture of him, Christopher Reeves, and an earlier Superman, George Reeves and I'll take votes and who everyone thinks look more like a Superman. Well, that's it for now.
