Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Red Shift by Alan Garner

I honestly don't know when I finished each of these books, I sort of lost track of the blog for a while.  Both of these books, especially Red Shift, took me a very long time as well.  Sometimes its nice to slow down and savor a book.  Thats not what happened with these books though.  

Red Shift sucked.  A lot.  I had no idea what was going on the whole time I was reading it.  I just read it because I didn't want to give up, and because the rest of my life was taking over my brain so I didn't have the space to focus on changing books.  When I finished I had to read the Wikipedia page to understand what I'd just read.

There's nothing in particular to say about Second Foundation other than to mention that its the 3rd in a trilogy, so if you liked the other two, try this one.  I thought it was OK but nothing special 

Definitely don't try Red Shift.  It was awful and I don't know why anyone likes it or would recommend it.  Again with Second Foundation, by the time you get along to reading it, you should be able to decide for yourself if you want to continue with the trilogy or not.
