Re: What Was The First S-F Story You Ever Read?

Everybody here seems to have much better memories than me---I doubt
that I can remember titles of more than one or two of the first
hundred science fiction books I've read, much less the first one.

It was probably a Tom Swift or Danny Dunn book, but many others are
possible.  Heinlein and Asimov were ones I liked in my early teens,
but that was much later.

It's hard enough for me to remember titles out of the most RECENT
hundred I've read.  My estimate is that I've read about 5000 fantasy
and science fiction novels over the past 40 years, so a little
blurring of the details is inevitable.
