Foundation by Isaac Asimov
1.5

Read this for a book club, which I’m grateful for because I probably wouldn’t have found it on my own. However, it wasn’t my favorite. At first I was intrigued by the writing style. All the exclamation points threw me off, but it was interesting how much of the book was only dialogue. But when the story kept jumping to new characters, and they were almost exclusively men, I got tired of it. (Though maybe I should be glad it was mostly men as the women who are in the book are so stereotyped in their actions, and I read the author was accused multiple times of sexual harassment) 
If it wasn’t so short and wasn’t for the book club I probably wouldn’t have finished the book.
