Not interested in kiddie books

Blaw blaw, I have read Casino Royale and it really was a great book. Funny because the Bond character in CR is actually a lot more serious and not as shallow as the character created for the movies.

I have been really gotten back into graphic novels as well, having really enjoyed the violence pornography of the Punisher series. I read Watchmen with some guilt knowing the author hated Reagan and his book essentially about liberal ideas that people need to be murdered to save them from themselves.

Has anyone read the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. It won the Hugo award over LOTR that year - I read it but it confused the hell out of me.

As I might have mentioned, I generally don`t read fiction. Two major exceptions are that I have read all of Ian Fleming`s James Bond novels, and all of Robert E. Howard`s Conan stories. I`d actually like to see Arnold come back to do a movie version of Hour of the Dragon, where Conan is getting on in years after having taken the crown.

I read the Foundation series about 100 years ago; I have them in my collection, somewhere or other. I like "Caves of Steel" and "The Naked Sun" much better, though. I found the Foundation stories too talky, and he seriously missed the mark on technology, although not nearly as badly as Robert Heinlein did. "The Naked Sun" is quite prescient vis-a-vis the whole "viewing" and "seeing" thing that's currently growing up around us.
