An undoubted classic of the genre.
Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation.
If a person claims to be a huge SciFi fan and they have not read this series then they are lacking one of the main pieces of literature for the genre. They are movie fans or computer game fans at best. They watch SyFy, which is another whole thing. Or they are readers of recent SciFi and need to dig into the early stuff to really be able to claim to be a huge SciFi fan. Is that elitist? Sure. But it isn't wrong.
If you love Fantasy adventure you read Tolkien. If you love Westerns you read Louis L'Amour. If you love romance novels you read Jane Austen.
If you love Science Fiction, you read Issac Asimov.
