| | Isaac Asimov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Asimov said that of all his writings, he was most proud of the middle section of The Gods Themselves. | | | Asimov was a long-time member of Mensa, albeit reluctantly — he described them as "intellectually combative." The asteroid 5020 Asimov is named in his honor. | | | These columns, periodically collected into books by his principal publisher, Doubleday, helped make Asimov's reputation as a "Great Explainer" of science and were referred to by him as his only pop-science writing in which he never had to assume complete ignorance of the subjects at hand on the part of his readers. |

| | Amazon.com: Books: It's Been a Good Life |
| | Janet Asimov presents a "revelation" in the epilog of this book, but the impression that will last is of Isaac Asimov, the humanist. | | | Isaac Asimov the author of hundreds of books, both fiction and nonfiction, including the "Foundation" series was a rationalist, convinced that the act of writing was Heaven for him. | | | This compression of Isaac Asimov's earlier autobiographical works will principally be remembered as the book that announced to the world that Asimov died of AIDS. |

| | Isaac Asimov (edited by Janet Jeppson Asimov): It's Been a Good Life - an infinity plus review |
| | Asimov, as we discover, never lost his fannishness. | | | All of that said, this is as charming a book as Asimov obviously was so charming a man. And it is very much an Isaac Asimov book rather than a Janet Jeppson Asimov book; his widow is to be commended for having made that so. | | | Culled largely from Asimov's three volumes of autobiography but with the addition of such items as extracts from letters to his wife Janet (who compiled and annotated this volume), |

| | Isaac Asimov FAQ |
| | Asimov was named Isaac after his mother's father, Isaac Berman. | | | Asimov discovered that he was claustrophiliac, meaning that he was fond of enclosed places. | | | However, since Asimov often did not count as "his" books those on which a publisher merely slapped his name, these sources cannot be taken as complete. |
