Asimov has if I recall correctly two entire volumes of brilliant short stories.

I've read them both :)

I can read short stories all day -- something about the short format makes 2000 pages fly by. Good stuff.

If you like twists, Philip Dick's scifi shorts are full of them.

I've read a lot of his too, I really liked the one about the Russians and the Americans coming up from underground and watching the sunrise and joining the city (I'm not good with titles). Asimov's books/stories consistently entertained me, but some of Dick's stuff didn't always do it for me.
