hankg,

I'm finally watching the Foundation series on AppleTV. I'm really enjoying it. Although I suck at reading fiction its making me want to read the books. However the CW is that the series is not much like the books. So I wonder how much I'd actually enjoy them.

@hankg it's very likely that you won't enjoy the books.

The books where notable in introducing many ideas in Science Fiction, and made an enormous impacts in the genre. But as a work of fiction it's very dry and lacks action. It was said impossible to adapt to their screen because it would be called "two persons talking and smoking: the movie".

Conter intuitively, the work that you could enjoy reading if you liked the series is the rival work of Foundation: Dune, from Frank Herbert.

@hankg you probably wouldn’t. Asimov was a great ideas man, but couldn’t write dialogue to save himself.
