I love Asimov's simplistic style and how we says so much with so few words. The twist endings to all three books were great too ... totally unexpected. All those of you haven't read Foundation, please do.

Starting with either 'Trainspotting' by Irvine Welsh
or
'The Illustrated Man' by Ray Bradbury.
Foundation, the trilogy itself, is great. Foundation's Edge is also good. The others aren't so good, especially when he tries to tie his entire oeuvre together.
