I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.
I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).
I’ve only read the original Foundation trilogy, would you recommend the others?
Difficult to say. If you keep in mind, that he wrote the sequels 30 years or so later and acknowledge that one’s views change over such a period, then go ahead. If you, however, expect the same flavor as the trilogy, then I wouldn’t recommend reading foundation’s edge and foundation and earth. And although these are meant as an introduction to the men behind time, that one makes no reference to the foundation trilogy. So it’s fine to just read the end of eternity on its own.
I am a fan of Isaac Asimov. I definitely suggest the books The End of Eternity and Nightfall.
I can only comment on the sequels so far since I haven’t gotten to the prequels, but I’d say if you are open to a bit of a change in pace then it’s definitely worth it. But it’s definitely a bit different, it was written like 30 years later as someone else mentioned. So definitely worth taking that into consideration.
