A Fine and Private Place

[hollyking]

I finished A Fine and Private Place at lunch today. Yep, I'm a slow reader. Well not really slow, but I don't seem to have much time to read so it takes time to finish books. I enjoyed AFaPP a lot. Which Beagle book should I read next?

The next book in my queue is Foundation by Isaac Asimov. As Asimov is one of my favorite authors I should have read this book earlier. I don't know why I never have read them. I've read all of the robot novels and I love the Black Widowers stories.

I love Asimov, but I do not think the Foundation series are very good at all. I seem to be the only one who thinks so, though.

We'll see how it goes. I only picked up the first one. ;)

Just keep in mind that the first three Foundation books were published as serials in a newspaper, and not collected into the arbitrary three volumes until after the syndicated run was completed. With that in mind, I'd recommend going through the trilogy (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation) as though they were one book.

Our older son is named after him ;)

Peter? Isaac?

I think the first book of Foundation is the only book of his I've read...

Forget that travesty with Will Smith. I, Robot (and the other robot books) are very good.
