Revolting Tales
Deep in the very depths of Hell, where billions of souls are eternally enslaved in perpetual torment, you’ll find Lou, the master of the underworld. Meeting him for the first time, in an endless assortment of hideous and ridiculous clothing, you’d be forgiven for thinking he was almost benign. Don’t be fooled though, he takes his job very seriously. There is also Sandra, his personal enigma. Sandra assists him in devising revolting and terrifying punishments for the most heinous of offenders. So when Sandra hands Lou the daily list of specials, Lou can’t help but get excited. On the list are some very naughty people that require his personal attention. Lou believes, quite rightly too, his attention should be considered an honor… Warning: This book is NOT for children. It contains graphic and descriptive scenes of blood and gore alone with sexual content – it’s called Revolting Tales for a good reason… Check it out!

Pebble In The Sky
by Isaac Asimov  Considered part of the Galactic Empire series which I have not read more of. Literally between footsteps Joseph Schwartz, a retired suburban tailor from Chicago finds himself thrown tens of thousands of years into the future. Asimov very effectively uses the fish-out-of-water trope to introduce the reader to a future where Earth is mostly radioactive, the galaxy is ruled by an Empire and Earthmen are looked down upon by the rest of the galaxy. He also introduces us to a rich cast of characters makes some interesting comments on xenophobia. This also marks one of the occasions where he references Trantor outside of the the Foundation series.
