Polish Fantasy/Fantastic Channel (Kanał Fantastyczny) - a YouTube profile about fantasy and science fiction published a great video where Tomasz Kołodziejczak (writer and long-time head of the Polish comic book department in Egmont publishing house) gives his perspective on Isaac Asimov Foundation series reading order. Since I had already read the Foundation book and wanted to explore this world more, I found it very useful, but a video form wasn’t good to dive into and check what book I should read next. In this article, you will find a condensed list extracted from this video (the video is in Polish), which I recommend you watch first:
