Horrible.
No one waste their time on them.

>>8514758
I read 2/3 of Foundation, thought it was pulpy and lame.

Phenomenally dry and boring

>>8514758
I like that cover art.

>out greatest minds built these giant metal dicks
>oh no our giant dicks fell over, probably because of hubris or something
>now we live in the shadow of our former dicks. can they rise again?

I kind of like prelude and forward better

I read two parts of Foundation, then all of a sudden it transformed into this tale about exploring a megastructure in space, and there was this tall cat alien, a two headed alien, and a cute girl with great legs, and they had to fight with some savages.

Unexpected genre shift toward the end, but still a solid 7/10. Recommended.

truth without trips

I have read most of the Foundation novels and just got tired of them. The last one I truly remember was about the Mule, and then I started reading Foundation and Earth and just could not do it even though I had gotten halfway through.

I've read some of Asimov's other works and they all feel very same-y to me. I keep feeling like I'm reading the same book.

Probably won't finish them. The initial Foundation novels were rather engaging though.
