I am a fan of Science Fiction, but heard the Foundation Series is not for the casual fan. Been advised to work your way up, if finding the genre 'more' interesting. So I ask, which books do you recommend of Asimov's I should read to 'ease' me in a little more into Science Fiction.

Thanks,

Well, I read the original Trilogy and Foundation's Edge in High School. They are not difficult reads. I am not a big fan of the books Asimov wrote after that in the series, but I love the original trilogy. None of the books in the original trilogy is very long and they are made up of shorter stories so they can be read in chunks fairly easily. They are typical of Asimov's style; plot often tends to move by conversation as opposed to action (Though there is a bit). Still, if you liked "I Robot", I don't think you should have any problem with the Foundation Trilogy.
