Isaac Asimov's wonders of the world
This is a gloriously big, fat collection of what I anticipate will be wonderful sci fi. So Asimov, in his intro to the first book has a footnote to "The Nature of the Title," in which he explains that he uses "the masculine form only for simplicity, and [intends] it inclusively." I'm fully prepared to make allowances. For one thing, the original publication date was 1980, and the note tells me that at least he was trying. For another, this was compiled by Asimov (and others). I even overlook his, frankly, rather insane effort to explain society in his Foundation series. Asimov is a master. I was crushed when he died.
So, this huge collection of short stories remained on my "currently" shelf for ages. Inevitably, some of the stories were more compelling than others. All in all, I wish I liked short stories more, because I found some great work here by terrific authors. Much of what they do (or did; these are old) is short stories and, for me, collections of short stories tend to sit around the place forever.
