Foundation remains my favourite sci fi as well.
Funny, I only have two sci fi series sitting on my shelves here... Foundation and Zahn's trilogy.
The Foundation Series is easily one of my favorite Scifi series as well. So good in fact that I got my Harry Potter obsessed sister to read it (she's not in to science fiction) and she loved every minute of it.

I thought the first one was great, but that the other books sort of got away from it too much. maybe I should try and given them another try in a few years as I get through my queue

That's a classic. Lots of us had to read it in school. Pretty common to be in a reading list.

You have to read the Trilogy to even complete the story. The first book doesn't really stand on its own.

I have, I've probably read 4 or 5 books in the series. But that was years ago, and before I discovered audiobooks.

I'm hoping to fit a reread of the Stormlight Archive in over Christmas along with Sanderson's Skyward (going to have to fight for time with that one with my 14 year old).

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about what he posted yesterday. Knowing that Stormlight Archive is only 4 of 10 kind of put things into perspective. Sanderson probably has a large group of people hoping for his continued health and well being.

I read the Mistborn series before I started this. I had a bit of a stutter getting into this after Wax and Wayne. I started getting into it about half way through the 1st book.
I wish he would extend Wax and Wayne further -- beyond 4 total books. I thoroughly enjoyed it. -
