I would disagree with you there. The Foundation is really the perfect introduction to Science Fiction. As it goes, it sort of progresses through structures starting very simply, and ending with a great deal of complexity. The pace is perfect to draw you in and keep you reading. Plus, it was the first wildly successful space opera style of book so read it, or else.
