I've love reading, but the book that set me to reading science fiction was Robert Heinlein's ROCKETSHIP GALLIEO. I was in Shriner's hospital in Portland, Oregon when I discovered a copy in the ward. I realize it's dated but it reminded me that what a friend and I had been doing, making our own gunpowder and launching rockets.
Also another good read, while dated, is WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE and AFTER WORLDS COLLIDE by Philip Wylie.
It is maddening as all hell that with all the great books and story lines in SciFi and fantasy the studios and networks can't find or do one right.
