I agree with this. First time I read it (in my early teens) it blew my tiny mind. Subsequent reads, not so much.
Going to re-read Asimov Foundation books soon in preparation for the forthcoming television.

There's likely to be a rather large gap between the books and the TV series. For a start, it looks as if they haven't done this:
Hari Seldon: Hi, I'm Hari, the Empire is going to fall apart.
Author: After the Empire fell apart...Hopefully they'll also avoid the sillier plot holes and give some depth to the characters.
Mr Asimov was a top bloke but there's a reason his best books were about robots.

I'm a huge Philip K Dick fan and re-read The Man In The High Castle last year. I wasn't a huge fan this time round! The first time was a while ago but it felt very dated. Having delved into his work a lot more since the first time I read it I really don't rate it compared to a fair amount of his other stuff.
