I read the Foundation trilogy when I was about 11 or 12, and really don't remember much of it except that I liked it then. Who knows what I'd think about it now, but I'm sure if you like sf you'd probably dig it.


It's true I haven't read them for several years. I keep forgetting that I'm so goddamn old, and decades have passed since certain activities of mine have taken place. I really need to go through and re-read a lot of stuff to see if I still like it. But I left most of my books with my mother when I moved to Seattle, and she has stolen all of my good sci-fi, so I probably won't bother.

Instead, I am currently reading The Wedge of Truth: Splitting the Foundations of Naturalism by Phillip E. Johnson, which is a book written by a creationist that attempts to show why evolution is also based on faith. I don't think that was the author's intention, but that's what he's doing. Reading this book continually makes me feel like a moron - not because of anything the author has to say, but rather because I find myself screaming out loud at the book because of the hypocritical and obviously biased arguments he makes. I should have expected as much.

Shit, I'm even starting to ramble like an old lady. Fuck.
