Can You Remember Your First Science Fiction Novel?

[BAYLOR]

It was "The World of Rocannon" by Ursula Le Guin and it is still one of my all time favourite books.
However, I've read short stories before (Bradbury, Sheckley and a few others). But the question was about the novel, so I don't count them.

I recently read Rocannon's World I couldn't put it down . It's sequel Planet of Exile is also a terrific .

Red Planet, by Robert Heinlein. I must have been in about third grade. That would have been, let's see, around 1964 or so.

I would have to quote you exactly. So, that means we are the same age.

Fahrenheit 451 was the first SF novel I read from start to finish, it was also the one which started me on finally taking reading seriously back when I was a teenager!
