The late Isaac Asimov was a prolific writer, having penned close to 500 books before his passing in 1992. The Good Doctor wrote fiction and fact, about anything that he cared to tackle. He was also unashamedly unmodest, but in such a loveable good-natured teddy-bear way that it was difficult to dislike him for it. When he wasn't writing, he was sleeping, I think. Here's a quote from one of his books.
"Well, it may be that you're not a writer. It's no disgrace. You can always go on to take up some slightly inferior profession like surgery or the presidency of the United States".
- Isaac Asimov
