Have read Razors Edge, Of Human Bondage, and the book about Gauguin Three Moon and Sixpence.

Are the Foundation books written after the Second Foundation (the prequels) any good?

so after Anna will tackle War and Peace.

Anna Karenin is sort of like a Russian version of Downton Abbey without the servants point of view (or more aptly the reverse of what I just said since Tolstoy came first).
Nice,

I also read the Foundation Series (and a few other Asimov books) in high school. I didn't read much until I was about 16, then I hit a spurt for a few years and it's been pretty slow since. Wish I was a faster reader with a better attention span.....
