I read the entire Foundation series a few months ago. I had read the original Foundation books back in the mid-sixties (see, that's why I know about slide rules.) I found the that I enjoyed the original books but I found the later books and the attempt to provide background to be just a little flat. It's not that they were bad books, I thought they were worth reading, I just didn't enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the first three.
Heinlein wrote the ultimate time travel paradox short story, "All You Zombies."
I grew up reading all these authors, I watched Tom Corbett, Science Fiction Theatre and others. None of this was great (or even ordinary) literature, as some of my teachers frequently pointed out, but it was great adventure and great fun! It was, and is, great story telling and that is what it is all about.
And an aside to Lbooker. The world is awash with very stupid geniuses.
