Asimov's reading order (suggested by Asimov himself)
The Author's Note of Prelude to Foundation contains Asimov's suggested reading order for his science fiction books:
- The Complete Robot (1982) and/or I, Robot (1950) - Caves of Steel (1954)
- The Naked Sun (1957)
- The Robots of Dawn (1983)
- Robots and Empire (1985) The Currents of Space (1952)
- The Stars, Like Dust (1951)
- Pebble in the Sky (1950)
- Prelude to Foundation (1988) Note: Forward the Foundation (1993) was then unpublished, but would have followed Prelude.
- Foundation (1951)
- Foundation and Empire (1952)
- Second Foundation (1953)
- Foundation's Edge (1982)
- Foundation and Earth (1986)
It's been a while since I read Asimov, but I don't remember the robots stuff being particularly serialized. Except for the Daneel books (The Caves of Steel, etc.) which should be read in publication order.
Oh, and Robots and Empire should probably be put off until you've read both the Daneel series and Foundation, at the very least.
