The Complete Robot

After just reading the first of the ~30 stories in the book I could already see the geniosity of Asimov. This book doesn't take Dune's place as my favorite, but it certainly puts Asimov as my favorite author.

This is the book I would suggest for someone who doesn't like science fiction to read first. The stories are very short, and the very first one will hook them up.

Asimov focus on the human aspects of the robot stories, making them totally atemporal.
