I think this is definitely on topic.

I can't remember what it was I read first.  It could have been one of 
the SF magazines that were sold around 1950, it could have been the 
Heinlein short stories in the SatEvePost, it could have been one of 
the early SF novels published in paperback, but by 1953 (the year I 
graduated from high school) I was firmly hooked.
