I think Treasury of Great Science Fiction. They were my brother's books. Stars My Destination was in one of those. From those books, I read stories from most of the best authors, and if I liked the author, read more of their books or short stories.

I like Heinlein, but there are others I like better, maybe not as well-known. Asimov was wonderful. The alien ambassador drinking bottles of ketchup like soda. The story about the realization about humor. Sometimes fun, sometimes educational. I think I got away from reading sci-fi, because even if humans were surrounded by state of the art gadgets, they still acted the same. Now that I'm older, I realize humans are going to keep acting the same. lol
