Yeah, I also found the Foundation books much more of a slog than the robot novels (Elijah Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw are just much more engaging characters!) -- I did like the first book quite a lot, since it was about a lot of different ideas, but the next ones seemed to be based on one or two different ideas, which didn't work as well for me.
Hmm. That's a good idea, about the overlapping biographies. I constantly have to remind myself when reading autobiographies (and to some extent with biographies) that the author has his own set of biases and preconceptions that aren't necessarily true.
