I have my used copy of the Foundation collection, and I'm slogging through it. I'm a few chapters into Foundation and Empire, and for the most part, the whole series consists of men sitting around discussing inevitable things in the most pompous way they can. Every once in a while there's a nice 'gotcha' moment, but for the most part it feels like work. I have to keep telling myself it's pulp from the 1950s, so the 'futuristic' tech and the generic sci-fi sounding names are part of the show. I hope it gets better.
The good news is that the book also has 'I, Robot' in the back, so I can get rid of the beat-up paperback edition I have been carrying around for eons.
