The Foundation trilogy, because it rekindled my interests in the relationship between determinism, humanity, choice and the succession of time.

I must say I'm not enjoying Foundation and Empire as much as the original Foundation. Foundation had me pausing every few pages to think, but I found the second book lacking in those viewpoint-altering ideas. Anyway, I'm only halfway through the second one. I hope it gets better towards the end.
Frankly, the second was the weakest of the three.
Frankly, after the first three, it starts going downhill very fast. I stopped reading after Foundation's Edge.
Dang, I just purchased the entire series after falling in love with the first book. Note to self: do not make impulsive purchases.
Absolutely great series- my first real sci-fi series ever in middle school. I don't think I fully grasped its depth though- gonna have to reread.
