Eyes Do More Than See, I loved that one, it's really touching.
Lenny, because of the interaction between Lenny and Calvin.
Actually, I love all his stories, especially the Powell and Donovan and Calvin ones, but those two are my favourites right now. By tomorrow I'll probably be posting some others I haven't remembered yet.

Like some others here, I don't see why Nightfall is rated the best. It's certainly very good, but . . . I like "The Ugly Little Boy" , "The Last Question" , and "Reason".

No one's mentioned "Blind Alley" yet, which I've always liked.

What was the one with the Jovains and the 3 ZZ robots called? I loved that one

"Victory Unintentional", as I recall....

Read so long ago, but still remembered almost verbatim - must be the test of a favourite for me!
And "The Singing Bell" from Asimov's Mysteries.

I agree... "Ugly little Boy",.. not his most profound.. but certainly clear in my mind after having read 20 years ago.

Yeah, Ugly Little Boy is certainly one of my favorite stories, and as I recall it was Asimov's favorite story out of his own works.

Victory Unintentional, there's another great one

Among the short stories I read so far, my favourite would be either "The Last Question" or "The Bicentennial Man". It's hard to choose one as the favourite between these two.
