So I guess it's time I read Foundation, The only Assimov book I've read was End of Eternity.
What Foundation shoudl I start with?

Isn't End of Eternity a part of Foundation?

read them in the order they are written. Also read the robot novels as well. They form a whole that makes most sense if you read the first foundation trilogy, then the robots and then finish the foundation in the order it is written

1) Foundation
2) Foundation and Empire
3) Second Foundation
all of which were written in the 1940s, then ...
4) Foundation's Edge, the early '80s followup. Asimov pumped out a bunch more novels in the 80's trying to tie his Foundation series, his robot series, and his Empire series together, but I found them to be mstly forgettable ... but maybe you'll like them.
