As I mentioned yesterday, based on the Isaac Asimov Home Page’s book listings, Asimov wrote books in 86 out of the 908 categories of the
Dewey Decimal System and 49 out of the 226 categories of the Library of Congress classification. These are unbelievable feats, and it’s worth looking
at the specifics to see how broad his knowledge was.
