Foundation saga so far

Foundation series is one of the tallest pillars of science fiction. It tells a history of the future in seven books. Some numbers

The order of events in the future history
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The order in which the books were written
3 4 5 6 7 1 2

The order in which I wanted to read them
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The actual order so far
7 1 3

The last number of the last sequence was an addition over the last weekend. As can be noted it was the first book to be written (in 1951), and it is part of a subset of the series known as 'Foundation Triology' (comprising of books 3,4,5) so it was an important addition. I liked it very much anyway. I thank the anonymous benefactor who left a copy of the book on Z's desk (for over a month) which I finally decided to borrow for the weekend. May you live long and prosper \\//.
