"The Gods Themselves" by Issac Asimov

Besides being a darn good story this book as two other noteworthy things about it.

1) It was published as a Serial, 1) Galaxy 2) IF 3) Galaxy.
These magazines were being published in alternate months at that time.
2) Critics claimed Issac Asimov couldn't write about sex. In this novel, he did write about (Alien) sex [I think I remember].

Gokusen (ごくせん) manga series by Kozueko Morimoto.
Kumiko Yamaguchi, the granddaughter of a Yakuza boss, Kuroda of the Kuroda Ikka. Her parents died when she was at the age of seven, and her grandfather had no other descendants, so Kumiko is next in line to head the family business with the title of Ojou. However, her lifelong dream has been to become a teacher. While her grandfather approves of her choice, others in the family want her to become the next boss.

Kumiko becomes home teacher of class 4-2 in mathematics at an all-boys private high school where she is known as Yankumi. Her class is full of delinquents, but she tries her hardest to teach them not just academicly, but about lessons of life. Though she's forced to keep her family a secret from the public, her Yakuza upbringing gives her the strength and the experience to reach out to her students, while also providing comedic situations.

I finally finished David Eddings' series "The Tamuli" last night (yes I'm still busy with other things ATM) and I've just returned from my library with my other 5 books of his so I'll be reading "The Redemption of Althalus" next. With the way the weather has turned here lately it looks like I'll get a bit more reading in as it isn't very nice outside to do anything.

Cheers.

I just checked out an eBook copy of 1st book in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (Fellowship of the Ring).

Last week I watched FOTR on a friends home movie theater system. (Opps, wrong thread :)

I am re-reading the first two books of Neal Asher's "Rise of the Jain" trilogy.
Then I will read the last book which just came out.

I've been busy doing a lot of other stuff here of late, but I'm about to finish book 1 of David Eddings' series "The Elenium" and start on book 2 (sometime today or tonight anyway).
Even while practising my "social distancing" I've been keeping busy with other things, but I have progressed onto book 2 of David Eddings' series "The Tamuli".

Cheers.
