Asimov's Foundation series (two times polish translation and once original) and The Hitchikerms Guide to Galaxy by Adams Douglas (once in polish, twice original)

Just reread hitchhikers myself, and I’m rereading the Robots series. I love the mix of sci-fi and noir that the Robots books have

It's even more fun if you read the entire Asimov book catalog that's set in the same universe as Foundation using the in-universe chronological order... unless you meant that's what you did. That's broadly "I, Robot", the Robots series, the Empire Series, and the Foundation series. I'm sure some people don't like his later books that tie it all together, but most of them are probably elderly and read the original series before the newer ones were published or something.

I read the original Foundation trilogy, then all the ones in the Robot, Empire and Foundation series in order of publication, followed by the Benford/Bryn/Bear trilogy.
Then I went back and re-read the original Foundation trilogy, and it still stands out as my favorite thing Asimov ever did.
