Finally got around to finishing I, Robot by Asimov. Pretty good. Really got my imagination running. Not sure which sci-fi novel to do next. Suggestions?

Since you're onto the retro stuff, do Heinlein if you haven't already. I avoided his stuff my entire life after a bad experience with Stranger in a Strange Land, but have found pretty much everything else delectable. Went on a 6 book binge a few months back.

Couldn't stand it. Of course, I was 15, so what the hell did I know? But it did poison me against Heinlein for well over a decade. Maybe it deserves a revisit.
It was The Moon is a Harsh Mistress that got me to give him another chance. Great book. Snarfed it down on a long flight, never looked back.

i read it when i was in 8th grade and it emotionally wrecked me but it became one of my all time favorites. i think you should revisit it. it's really one of his best books IMO.
