Asimov wrote too widely to recommend “all of him”.

For an entrance into Asimov and his incredible Sci-Fi voice, check out “I, Robot” and the Robot detective series. He was really the originator of the term and popular idea “robot” and “robotics.” He would eventually turn to writing popular science to mixed results.

Why if it's all good? Brothers Strugatsky wrote wider than Asimov and I may wholeheartedly recommend all of them.

(Read ~12 tomes of Strugatskies and perhaps a dozen titles by Asimov)

My intro to Asimov's work was through the short story, The Fun They Had. It was part of our English Reader at class.

After I grew up, I picked up the Robot Series and Foundation Series. I didn't find any fictional work of his to be uninteresting. So, perhaps this comes down to individual preferences.
