I also didn't really get the love of Foundation. I like a lot of Asimov's short stories but just found Foundation to be kind of dry. While reading it I also noticed that there were no female characters in the book. Since I didn't like the book I haven't read any of the others in the series but I seem to recall someone saying that when the lack of women was pointed out to Asimov that he made women central to at least some of the prequels?
