The Foundation Trilogy

Yeah.
But even if you usually only read the harder kind of SF, I think everyone should read at least some of the robot novels or robot short stories (Try "I, Robot").

We can't have supposed SF fans running around not knowing about the 3 laws of robotics, can we? It's one of those cultural things.
I read all the foundation novels but not the prequels that were not written by Asimov. I find the Galactic Empire and Robot novels to be more on the side of light reading. Not brilliant, but entertaining. Foundation is kind of nice because psychohistory is kind of a neat new thing. The prequels are more standard, I think. But it's been a long time since I've read them.
