W-O-W!

A masterpiece.

You...must...read...it!

(I finished it yesterday and I'm a bit depressed...which book to read now?)

Tried.
Made it throught the first 1.5 and then could go no further.
Made me think of Ann Rand for some reason.

Yes Sci-Fi. Not the simple 'Star Wars' plot though. I'd say as rich as Dune, but even smarter and better written IMHO.

This is by far THE Sci-Fi story I recommend to read.

Be aware that most reviews you'll find on the web contain spoilers...

great series.. I agree.

the newest foundation series (with the approval of the Asimov estate) is pretty good.. tied up a lot of loose ends.
