I loved Foundation, especially the first one. It has a sense of exhileration in it. The third one to, also has something to it, especially the second half.

Actually my favorite part was the first half of Second Foundation.

One Man, the Mule... And Another.

The traveling all over the place; i.e. seeking; was exhausting. Lot's of pages to get back to where you started.

I really like the foundetion, I think I read them all but not in the right order.
I read all the Asimov books that I could find.

I liked the first part of the second fandetion the best too.

I'm slowly going through the series, though not in the correct order. I'm really enjoying them thogh and look forward to whatever comes next in the storlyine, especially after reading Forward the Foundation (which had a rather sad ending in my opinion as
he died all alone
).

I read one foundation book, but the second one I read I gave up on for some reason I can't remember. This was a few years ago, so I can't quite remember what they are about. I am a fan of Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.
