Boy, LC, I agree completely with your take on the Foundation Trilogy. Asimov was certainly one of the great minds of the 20th century, but he was no artist. I could not get into his book either and I have read most of the good books in the world I know of over the years.

I will order the one you suggested right now.

My top 10 books for fun, of all time would include: To Kill a Mockingbird as #1 because of its moral and ethical beauty.

Shogun, which I first read until I could no longer focus my eyes; "Musashi" on which shogun was based (read it twice-he should have won the noble prize for literaturre. talk about developing a character!).

What made Musashi so great, besides developing the character is that is uses just a pinch of surrealism, like one would put salt and pepper on a steak, to draw out his characters and scenes.

Lord of the ring trilogy, which I read in the 60's and as mentioned, mostly stoned and listening to Country Joe and the fish, Charlie Musslewhite's Southside band and other first generation hippie music-lol.

Dune and Watership down.
