man that's the biggest laugh I have had all day. genius mad thanks.

frankly the best Asimov for me is the short story collections, of which there are many many, since he wrote many sci fi as well as historical and detective stories.
the Foundation Series is very influential and a touchstone for any sci fi involvement you may want to have.

my fave fave asimov is the non fiction stuff he did in his last 20 years. genius stuff, written in plain english. then again, I love reference books.
Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare
 


Asimov's Guide to the Bible
 


this one is my fave. Asimov's biographical encyclopedia of science and technology.
