![]() ![]() I definitely think that "Prelude to the Foundation" and "Forward Foundation" should be read last because they give too much away in my opinion. I then finished with the two prequels to Foundation. I happened to read the original Foundation trilogy first, then "Caves of Steel" & "Naked Sun", then "Foundation's Edge" & "Foundation and Earth" and then went back to "Robots of Dawn" & "Robots and Empire". However, reading it that way around would detract from some of the mystery in "Foundation and Earth" because you will have a far better idea of what to expect at the end. You will be familliar with the characters R. If you read the robot books first, it gives you some background and understanding of Solaris, Aurora and Earth. I can see advantages to reading it both ways round. I think it is debateable as to whether one should read "Robots of Dawn" + "Robots and Empire" before reading "Foundation's Edge" + "Foundation and Earth" or vise versa. I don't think it matters if you read the original Foundation trilogy before the robot books because they stand alone and don't require any knowledge of his other works.Īfter that, it gets a little complicated. ![]() Re: Order of Foundation Series?
