The Book: written in the style of Isaac Asimov

By Tangotiger, 11:57 AM

That’s what I got when I copy/pasted this excerpt into this program.

Just because it’s in the same style, doesn’t mean it’s as good.  For example, Brian Bannister may pitch in the same style as say Greg Maddux, but he’s not as effective as Greg Maddux.  Basically, the capo of the style family is the very best, and the rest of us are the schlubs of that family, button men.

Glove-slap: Poz.
