[QUOTE="T_G, post: 380394, member: 175083"] I read The Foundation Trilogy by Asimov the other day, it was also mentioned earlier in this thread. I got it from Ebey, it was a hardcover from 1951 or so, very old with really thick dull paper. I must say that for stories written more than 50 years ago they are still very good. When reading it you don't get the same feeling as when watching movies of the same area. Even the technology they describe (mostly Atomic based) is still valid SciFi, as we have not made such a great technological leap since then (we are still burning oil and the Atomic energy we are using is not fundamentally that much different from the 50ies, maybe a bit cleaner and safer) . Anyway, I recommend this book to any SciFi fan, you won't be disappointed. [/QUOTE]
