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.

a friend just gave me literally a box load of asimov stuff. i don't think it has any of his non fiction but it does have quite a few collections of his short stories. I can see Robot Visions at the top as I type this. I might start with that one. I read I, Robot as as kid and loved that and assume the short stories in Robot Visions are going to be along those lines.
