I thought that the first book of the Foundation Trilogy was very promising and readable. It promised great things that were not delivered. The second book was rather muddled and unconvincing and in the third, you could see that Asimov was trying to finish it off as fast as he could, and it was unsatisfactory overall. He was a man with good ideas but no patience. His stories and his style were predictable.
Compare Robert Sheckley and The Status Civilisation.
Sorry, I don't know you but I'll be able to judge you better according to your reply.
I don't think that most of us know who you're talking about (me included)

Compare Robert Sheckley and The Status Civilisation, or if you prefer literary minimalism, then Way Station by Simak. Two of the greatest sci-fi stories ever written.

Hm. I agree that the first book was the best out of all 3, but I do not think that the second was especially muddled. In my opinion, the whole riose plot was quite well done. I dont think that the Mule Section was espesially good, but it was still OK.
I haven't read the other stories you mention. However, I would be happy to discuss other SF.
For example: do you like "The mote in god's eye', or 'ringworld' more, and which one is better?
I like Mote in God's Eye more, but ringworld is better written.

I read Foundation only once, when I was about 18. That's over half a century ago. I do remember being disappointed because it didn't live up to the promise of Book 1. Which book was the Mule section in?
book 2

That's stupid. The metric system is far superior.

Maybe in English "walk" means something different haha.
Although I suppose I'd heard professional walkers can "walk" about 6 miles per hour. If so you must be quite fit.
there are professional walkers?

Wow, this guy's wiki...
Court said if he got his GED (among some other things) he woudln't have to register as a sex offender.
Even so, he failed his GED test. LOL
What a POS.
Clearly spoken by someone who completed high school, potentially university, and wasn't raised in the ghetto. All I'm saying is that people don't always have a choice to go to high school and if they do, they can't always go in regularly. Just because he's very unsmart (hehe) doesn't mean he's a "POS", he made sacrifices for his family to work instead of go to school. I probably shouldn't be beefing with someone so well known but you know, gotta say it.

He has tried some exercise programs, but it is difficult because he has gained weight after having some health problems. Ok I will tell him
You seem to be quite healthy in spite of your age.
When I was 38 I had a double rupture of my right Achilles tendon and calf muscle, kicking a ball about with my son, who was two. I was totally determined and got fit again. When I was 45 I could still play soccer for three hours. By the time I was 48, I could only play for about 25 minutes. The reason was that I had a series of pulled muscles and tendons and I kept having to stop for a week but I was eating the same so I put on weight and that made the damage to my legs more frequent, so I put on more weight. For some reason I don't get injuries any more. It may be because I run far less than I used to, and I don't jump off high things too much.
I believe in exercising through pain but keep the exercise gentle if you've recently had pain. Run upstairs a lot.
I don't know the context of this conversation, but if you're injured... keep it very light, especially in the area you were injured. A few months ago I played football (soccer) with a pulled calf and ended up tearing it. Badly. I was out for over 2 months, and released/quit from Leicester's top youth academy in England. Thanks to that experience I'll never be playing while injured again... just not worth it.
