[net.sf-lovers] SF beginnings

macrev (12/06/82)

I read my first sf in the seventh grade -- we all ordered paperbacks,
and I ordered "Costigan's Needle" for me, and a book on teen-age 
etiquette to please my mother.  From "Needle" I went to Wolheim's (sp?)
"Green Man From Mars," Heinlein's "Secret of the Martian Moons," and
the Lucky Starr series (remember "Lucky Starr and the Oceans of Venus?).
Then I went through my Andre Norton phase.  Her early stuff was
fantastic.  How about "Starman's Son," "Starborn," and "Star Gate?"
For old time's sake, I reread Star Gate a few weeks ago.  Even at
my advanced age (I was in the seventh grade in 1957), I still get a
kick now then reading some of those old "young adult" sf novels.
