The two novels:
""The Gods Themselves"" was new to me, and I can see why it wasn't more popular. Asimov jumps around mixing different plot lines before kind of bringing it all together at the end and this is the only story that doesn't quite satisfy me. His treatment of the aliens is quite enjoyable, however--they really are believable in their uniqueness.
""The End of Eternity"" I remember reading in my childhood and then easily forgot...whose protagonist was irritatingly emotionally unstable...and who somehow rose above his irrationality to surprise everyone with his leaps of intellect and managed to get his act together at the end to provide a comforting ending.
These are not riveting stories--but, as I mention--they're comforting. They held my attention and then gave me something to think about afterwords. I will add here that they are only marginally similar to Larry Niven's ""Draco Tavern"" stories. Niven builds up to a an emotional whack on the side of your head...Asimov is ever more subtle." ( )
