I just finished reading The Caves of Steel for the second time. The first time I read it was over 50 years ago, though, so everything except the two lead protagonists' names had been washed out of me...and those were mostly there because I'd just finished reading The Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire, both of which more or less feature R. Daneel Olivaw and Elijah Baley. *
Olivaw is the most commonly appearing Asimov character.
The Caves of Steel
The Naked Sun
"Mirror Image"
The Robots of Dawn
Robots and Empire
Foundation and Earth
Prelude to Foundation
Forward the Foundation

And as I'm now reading The Naked Sun--and have recently read the three Foundation books named above--I think I'm going to read "Mirror Image" (for the first time) right soon and finish up this subset of Asimov's science fiction work.
And I just happen to have a copy of Isaac Asimov: The Complete Stories Volume II on hand, which includes this story.
* "More or less" because while Elijah is dead and gone from the start of Robots and Empire, he still featured prominently in the story. Plus there are flashbacks.
