Reading: From a Certain Point of View
Finished: Foundation's Edge
I am ahead of the curve, at least. I'm a quarter of the way through this thing, and I have read more than a quarter of each list. That's something. But this pace can't continue, and I don't want it to continue.
Foundation's Edge is good, but not as good as Foundation, surprise surprise. I expected to think that it won the Hugo on the strength of its series more than on its own merits, and I still think that's a possibility. I haven't read the books it beat, though, so you never know; maybe it was truly just the strongest book that year. It gets into some woo-woo at the end, in a way that doesn't fit the relatively hard science bent of the original (not that the previous books didn't bend that either with their telepathy).
