i don't read many books, but foundation and 3bp are in my top 50 favorite sci-fi shows, what didn't you like about the books? have you tried the film versions?

I love the Foundation story. The tv show was fine. The book didn't respect the author IMO - didn't try to entertain. But it was groundbreaking for the time and I respect that.

3BP is something where I should take my own medicine and push through, but every time I read it (even 50% in), I'm lost and un-entertained. Haven't seen the tv show there.

Have not read the book as I just could not commit to slogging through it but I liked the tv series.   I’m glad that there’s a Chinese sci-fi book just not for me
