First Heinlein I read as a young teenager was Orphans of the Sky (the protagonist was called Hugh, by sheer coincidence) - I’ve read all his books, even his later, more self-indulgent ones - I don’t believe RAH was a fascist (I think he leaned anarcho-Libertarian-light, but believed in "society", albeit with rights earned, rather than bestowed).

My favourites are the Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Citizen of the Galaxy, Tunnel in the Sky, Podkayne of Mars, Friday, Glory Road, The Door into Summer, and the aforementioned Orphans of the Sky.
