I've been reading and enjoying more and more science fiction lately and have been recommended to read Isaac Asimov by a few friends who have enjoyed the books I too have.

I went ahead and looked on eBay and found an auction for 58 of his works.. I knew it seemed excessive, but it was cheaper than purchasing the 7-8 of the books of his I had been pointed towards separately.

So, what does /lit/ think should be the course of action here? Any particular titles in here that you highly recommend, or perhaps even titles that you've read and don't recommend I invest my time into right away?

As for the excessiveness.. I'm more than aware, it would certainly take something very special for me to grip to the same author for such an amount of books. We'll see, though. I'll probably distribute them throughout friends.

Well, I see you have some short story collections there, so dip your toes in with that. But you can't go wrong with the Foundation trilogy.

Ubik is a must read in my opinion. I found Philip K. Dick hard to read in the beginning (and still do sometimes), but that book is great, and probably his best. His work grew on me over time. I would definitely recommend him.

I recommend reading, in this order,
I Robot
Foundation
Foundation and Empire
Second Foundation
The End of Eternity

And that's about it out of what I've read. The Gods Themselves is neat but not that great and Caves of Steel and it's sequels were bloated mediocrities.
