I started to read Asimov relatively recently and I've found that I prefer his short stories over his novels. There is a very good and comprehensive collection that I've been reading for a while now, reading one or two stories every once in a while. I really recommend it: http://www.amazon.com/Isaac-Asimov-Complete-Stories-Vol/dp/0... http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Stories-Vol-2/dp/0385420781
