Isaac Asimov wrote well over 400 books in his lifetime, He is the only author ever to have a least one book in every major subdivision of the Dewey Decimal System. Far too many to list here. He has written some of the definitive science fiction of all time, some really explanatory books on all espects of science as well as books about the bible, mysteries and jokes and humor. Irregardless of what the book is or is about, if the name Asimov is on the cover, it is probably well worth reading.

I Robot
Extrarerrestrial Civilizations (My favorite)
The Collapsing Universe
Asimov on Astronomy
A Choice of Catastrophies
There are many more but these are the ones I own
Oops! forgot about the Foundation series.

ONce you've got the future-history under your belt--Robots, Empire and Foundation serieses--then try some of his other stuff. His Lucky Starr books are enertaining (under Paul French) and no library is complete without a copy of Lecherous Limericks.

The original Foundation Trilogy, and the Robot novels are good... he also wrote mysteries (!) - see "Tales of the Black Widowers"

His non-fiction books are good, too.

Yeah, years in the past. My brother gave them to me as a series. They were good books, yet no longer my theory of a thrilling study. Very deep, political & symbolic. Drink espresso even as you study so as no longer to bypass to sleep!

Way too many to list here. He was a very prolific author. I like his time travel scifi best myself.
