Foundation

My husband and I chose books for the other to read - he is now reading the Chronicles of Narnia, and I'm reading the Foundation trilogy. I don't think I would have ever picked up this series on my own, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually enjoyed reading Asimov's first installment in the trilogy. Initially, I felt intimidated by the technical jargon and quick movement from one character to the next. However, it's incredibly clever how Asimov does not rely on character development or attachment to characters to further the plot. The technical jargon is, of course, fictional and I just told myself not to worry as I was reading and very much enjoyed reading all the more. Clearly I don't read science fiction much, but I look forward to starting the next novel and seeing what comes next.
