Meisterwerke der Science-Fiction | 
I took a loooooong bike ride through an area full of Little Free Libraries, one of which coughed up this beautiful copy of the Foundation Trilogy! I haven‘t decided if I‘ll keep it or give it to my dad, who loved these books way back in the day.
pick🎧 Scott Brick ... I grew up listening to this guy. I feel like he was around at Audible‘s inception. His somewhat whiny narration is generally a comfort listen for me so I automatically liked this book.
I can only hope you aren‘t reading this as it‘s about to get embarrassing. Every time he says “Weenus” in his serious voice 😆 poor Isaac, how could he have known that this reader would have such a childish sense of humor.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 👇🏻👇🏻
pickRe-read the Foundation Trilogy through audio radio presentation. The presentation had a feel of the 1960s, rather like an early Dr Who episode with William Hartnell, I thought they went for a dated feel but when searching found out it was produced in 1973! Okay but would be interested to hear what a major production could do for it. A great story but as mentioned by some today does lack female characters.

Started listening to The Foundation Trilogy, previously read them but decided to listen to the BBC Audio production.

pickSo, my book club‘s consensus is that the trilogy doesn‘t work as well as reading all seven books in the series. Start with Foundation and it‘s a so-so. Start with Prelude to Foundation and it‘s a pick! And everyone else in my club giggled at Wienis too!
I love the people in my book club so much! Anyone else have this dilemma? #bookishproblems

You can‘t beat the classics. Isaac Asimov wrote some great science fiction books, a true favourite! Many years in my youth spent on these. #ASpacemanCameTravelling #WinterWonderland
pickThis is what sci-fi should be! 😀
I just got my TBR pile set for the #readathon and then I got a NetGalley book, my #PageHabit box and an Asimov collection at the library book sale. I think this is the definition of a dilemma.
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

My #birthdaybookhaul (and yours truly) from day 1. The stack is fairly small, but we had limited time today. And I was trying to orient myself more than spending my entire birthday book budget in one go. 😆
I have Asimov's three first Foundation books, Wise Children by Angela Carter, Primo Levi's Periodic Table, and Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys.
#TuneInNovember #BooksFromBoxes Some boxed sets I have found at various used book sales .Sadly ,I have some books in boxes I don‘t have shelves for right now, I‘d open those , but don‘t want to cry,sigh,and carry on right now.😂🙄
I love the old school illustrations on this #Studio42Books leather cover. ❤❤
pickPsychohistory rules! Although this is considered a scifi classic Foundation didn't involve me as much as Red Mars. But it is still a excellent book for those who love SciFi. "For 12000 years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it's dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last 3000p years." Entertainment level: ???#Clary #Sha2016
One of my favorite quotes: "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
so-soI actually listened to an older audio production of this on the Internet Archive, and because the quality was difficult to take, it took me much longer than it should have. Different time, and all that. But the stories are good, despite that. #readinglog #sciencefiction
pickVentured out of my comfort zone with this one, I've never read anything in the sci-fi genre and I'm so glad I started with this. I wasn't sure what to expect but I couldn't put this down or stop talking about Hari Seldon and the Foundation. I enjoyed it so much more than I expected to. Makes me wonder what else I'm missing.
