Assessment About Books Nightfall and Other Stories

I know Asimov is supposed to be king, but I find him very long-winded and boring. His ideas are great but the telling is poor. Sorry, got to be honest.

I have no interest in the novelist expansion w/ Silverberg. Mainly I just want the title story. I know that I have read it but for some reason it never sticks.

I had been told that "Nightfall" is considered by many to be the best science fiction short story of all time. I had never heard of it, so I got it and gave it a read. It was good, but once again, I am not sure what makes a short story great. I can say that unlike so many highly praised literary short stories, "Nightfall" did have a beginning, middle, and clear end. So that was nice.One of the clear challenges in science fiction is to write something that is both imaginative yet not something

Nightfall is a brilliant story.

genius!asimov creates a reality so different from ours on lagash (where the story takes place), a far away planet where light is available only half of the day and obscurity claims everything the other half. full of suspense, absurd and the typical creativity and particular touch of the king of sci-fi. loved it.

A wide variety of Asimov stories, from classic to comic with introductions adding historical and biographical context. What's not to love?

Twenty stories comprise this collection of what Asimov himself considered his finest work up to 1969. These tales had been originally published in such periodicals as Astounding Science Fiction, Galaxy Science Fiction, Playboy, Star Science Fiction Stories, Scientific American, and more.My favorites include:An advanced civilization panics when five of their suns have set and the sixth is about to be eclipsed, casting their part of the world into "Nightfall" for the first time in generations.
