Its funny you should say this.

I've actually found that I prefer to read Golden age SF to more modern SF. It seems that while I'm not able to get into most of the modern SF published by Analog, Universe, etc I still love to read works by Asimov, Clark, Heinlein, Doc Smith, etc.

Some of my Favorite works such as the Lensmen Series by E.E. Doc Smith is lot more dated then Asimov's work, But Its still a lot of fun, especially if you are able to suspend your disbelief a little.

Going back to Asimov, I'll suggest Starting with the Original Foundation series and then Going to the Robot Series before reading the rest of the foundation series as lot of it may not make that much sense otherwise.
