I have just read the foundation novels! They were great. Has anyone else read them? I need to talk to someone about them!
Evo said:This is science fiction, why is it in history and humanities?
Yes history and more classical literature. We have no appropriate place anymore for science fiction and other genres. I personally LOVE science fiction.Astronuc said:Well there is Wooly's Thread on "Anglo Saxson Literature", and TSA put a thread on books, IIRC.

We used to have a forum where we could discuss books. I miss that.
I'll go for that.selfAdjoint said:Yes, whatever did happen to that? It just disappeared about the time we got rid of the mkaku forum. Without a book forum, it seems to me this is the closest venue on PF to discuss any kind of fiction.
Cladson said:Yes this will be a good place to discuss books. Noone in my town really reads that much or atleast reads any books I do. Does anyone know of any novels about space that are good?

I have not.Cladson said:Anyone read The Last Legion series by Chris Bunch or any books by him?
During his long hospitalization he conceived of the waterbed, and his detailed descriptions of it in three of his books later prevented others from patenting the idea.
Cladson said:Yes I am in the 10th grade right now. I couldn't put them down, even during class. Does anyone know of any other good science fiction books or series? I need more to read. I just bought pandora star by Peter F. Hamilton anyone read it?
Mine was supposed to be for what ever sort of fiction or even non-fiction that was for entertainment reading. I'll have to find it and maybe ressurect it.Evo said:Yes history and more classical literature. We have no appropriate place anymore for science fiction and other genres.

The "Foundation" novels are a series of science fiction books written by Isaac Asimov. They follow the story of a mathematician named Hari Seldon who predicts the fall of an intergalactic empire and creates a plan to save humanity from thousands of years of chaos.
There are a total of seven "Foundation" novels written by Isaac Asimov. The original trilogy consists of "Foundation," "Foundation and Empire," and "Second Foundation." Asimov later wrote four more books that are considered part of the series: "Foundation's Edge," "Foundation and Earth," "Prelude to Foundation," and "Forward the Foundation."
While each book in the "Foundation" series can be read on its own, it is recommended to read them in chronological order to fully understand the story. The later books build upon events and characters from the previous ones.
The "Foundation" novels are considered a classic in science fiction literature because of their thought-provoking exploration of themes such as politics, psychology, and sociology. Asimov's use of advanced technology and his predictions of future scientific advancements were also groundbreaking at the time of their publication.
There have been several adaptations of the "Foundation" novels, including a radio drama, a video game, and a planned television series by Apple TV+. However, the most well-known adaptation is the upcoming television series by HBO, set to premiere in 2021.
