I'm working on my first read through of the entire Foundation series currently on Foundation's Edge. I loved the original trilogy and thought the prequel was okay (I read the trilogy first and went back to the prequels). This series deserves all the praise I've read about it.

Is the show any good/worth a watch? I want to watch it after I finish Foundation and Earth. Even though I'm fairly certain I'm past what the show covers.

Idk it was fun for me. I thought it was interesting being from China, I'm not that well read so the Chinese author put a cool perspective on the novel.

Americans will measure in anything but the metric system.

And the reason nuclear isn't on a decline cost curve is due to the lack of investment monies. Nuclear didn't get the same level of RND like renewables did over the last decade.

I'm currently reading The Stars, Like Dust. By Issac Asimov. Seems decent I haven't been completely invested in the main character like I was in The Currents of Space (I know I read book 2 before book 1). But I like Asimov so I'll finish it it'll be a quick read anyways. I plan to finish the Galactic Empire series and then start Foundation (Finally!).

Yeah I found that out afterwards. Each book of that series isn't connected as far as I can tell. Each follows a different main character.

I don't enjoy movies they just kinda feel like a waste of time for me. I just have a hard time motivating myself to watch a 2+ hour thing feels like all movies are that length now.

Currently I have Equal Rites, by Terry Pratchett on my night stand. Satire fantasy (I think). Quickly read the first two paragraphs but other than that haven't started it yet. I enjoyed Color of Magic and Light Fantastic so looking forward to a new character lead to see how this plays out.

I listening to The Stars, Like Dust by Issac Asimov. It seems interesting about a son who's dad was charged with treason against the galactic Empire. I'm not fully invested as I was with The Currents of Space. But I'll see how the story pans out.

Omg same! Glad I wasn't alone with this thought. Another point I strongly disliked was the resolution of Kylars hand it was literally resolved first thing in book 3.

Asimov is really good. If you are hesitate you can read I, Robot. Which is a collection of short stories to give you an idea of his writing style.

His books are pretty quick reads and high quality.

Moxfield is my favorite, you can also goldfish the decks you build there. Me and my friends play by screen sharing it. Pretty jank but nice.

I'm currently working on two books. The first is Gunmetal Gods by Zamil Akhtar. The genre is Epic fantasy, it is very fast paced like break neck which is both good and bad. On one had something is always happening on the other I have no time to digest the content. I'd say it's entertaining but wouldn't say it's amazing at the moment. If you like quick popcorn style books go ahead you may enjoy it.

The second book I'm listening to is Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, genre is Scifi satire comedy. We've all heard about Hitchhiker's and it's sequels I'm just finally working through the books. I recommend it but the author's humor seems jaded which is perfect for me lol.
