Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
My first reading as a kid was Podkayne of Mars!.
My fave is still Stranger in a Strange Land!.!.!. Yes, I grok!.

And BTW, I just finished Variable Star last night!. A posthumous collaboration!.!.!. RAH wrote an outline and some notes, and 50 years later, Spider Robinson finished it! WOW!!! I love both these guys!.

For any fans that havent seen this yet, it was sitting in paperback on a bookshelf under R for Robinson, just like an ordinary book!. THERE IS A NEW HEINLEIN NOVEL, PEOPLE!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

On the surface you have the the action of a revolutionary cabal throwing off an oppressive Earth!. Underneath you have an interesting exploration of social mores, AI, and the hard science necessary for an Earth & Moon system of commerce!.

Of the juvenile novels, I always liked Citizen of the Galaxy the best!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

My favorite is Have Spacesuit --Will Travel!. I like the characters and the message that you need to take responsibility for your own education!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Starship Troopers, easily!. The book was a masterpiece, not the abomination of a movie that it became!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Stangers in a Strange Land!. I read it in college and the book was sick on religion, politics and moral relativism!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Starship troopers!. It was just a great all around novel that I enjoyed reading!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
