I'm trying Asimov's Foundation series again. I read Foundation and Empire as a teenager, and it took me a long time to get into it. I'm still not really liking it--not a huge fan of political intrigue, but I AM into the kind of longview approach that Marquez and Michener tend to take, where they can sum up long periods of time in a few sentences. I want to like it, but I'm just not into this. I'm waiting on some books though, so I'll keep trying in the meantime.
