Ah ah, I read Pratchett in the publication order and loved it, but after about two decades recommending it to everyone I know it's way easier to get people in by starting with the Nightwatch cycle. :D

Yes, the Robots short stories are indeed a nice addition, and probably easier to get into than Foundation! I did not enjoy the Robots full-fledged novels as much, though.

Still in SF, and keeping with the short stories idea, I'd also recommend The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.
