To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.
I'm still reading Ben Wilson's "Metropolis" as I've been very slow this week and I ended up reading almost nothing.

I enjoyed the entire story arc, albeit it was a few decades ago. What about his writing style don't you like? Maybe get in to I, Robot as a "it was the 50s" primer.

Unironically how he writes the foids. Its downright low quality romance trash tier. Other than that I think The Foundation trilogy still holds up if you read it before you reach college going age, after that you can find better stuff around the market.
The sad truth is that by this point in time the writing style of the Foundation series has become outdated. Somehow the writing in H.G. Wells The War of The Worlds holds up better.
Isaac Asimov was more an ideas writer and more specifically a short novella and short stories ideas writer. At the end of the day his style of writing could not maintain that level of quality across the board when it came to a longer novel, with some of the characters feeling truly campy by today's tastes, especially when it came to writing women.
