The discussion centers around Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series, with participants expressing their enjoyment of both the original trilogy and the later prequels. There is a debate about the classification of science fiction as literature and its place in the History & Humanities forum. Participants reflect on the differences between the original novellas published in the 1940s and the later works, noting that the latter were written to capitalize on the franchise. Many express nostalgia for a dedicated forum for discussing books, particularly science fiction, and share recommendations for other sci-fi novels and authors, including Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and newer writers like Alastair Reynolds. The conversation highlights a shared passion for reading and the desire for a community to discuss various genres of literature.

Yes history and more classical literature. We have no appropriate place anymore for science fiction and other genres. I personally LOVE science fiction.
We used to have a forum where we could discuss books. I miss that.
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.
