    I just started The Foundation Series again. There were only 1 published edition from years ago, and they were really hard to find, even close to impossible to find in good condition. I think there were issues about the copyrigt with the daughter and the local publishers.

    Eventually, I could only read first 2 books many years ago. Well, recently the first 3 books published again, and they are planning to publish the rest of the series. And I must say, since they published all 3 books at the same time, it is obvious that they rushed the translation. The 3rd book is an absolute nightmare to read. I finished the first 2 books in almost a week. 3rd one I am still struggling. I think I am going to continue with the English versions after this point.

    But, I feel a great remorse about delaying reading these masterpieces. I read a lot of stories and short novels of Assimov before. But the Foundation is truly one of the best Sci-Fi series ever written.
