The first 3 Foundation books were edifying. Especially the first one.
I've read all of the Robot and Foundation books. Another book I think is
important is God Emperor of Dune. Dune is really good, Dune Messiah less
so, Children of Dune is good, and God Emperor of Dune is amazing. The
books that followed were all completly worthless. Herbert was just milking
an obviously finished tetralogy for extra cash.
