    Hey, I was a fan of Asimov’s genius when I was a kid, but that was some time ago, and I remember only The Gods Themselves. As I read it many times, that’s my favourite. Are there any others you’d recommend? I mean, of course I plan to enjoy them all. But perhaps there are some recommendations for a stranger to read this, and then that, and then something else too.

      Funnily enough “The Gods Themselves” themselves is my favorite Asimov novel. It’s very memorable. Doesn’t feel like an Asimov novel.

      I would honestly go with “The Caves of Steel” as a “benchmark” Asimov experience, the first novel in the Robot series.

      If you want to go for something a little bit outside of the Robot / Foundation series (and you’ve already read or reread “The Gods Themselves”), I would go for “The End of Eternity”.
