People always remember their first Heinlein - I'm fairly sure that mine was Between Planets.
My rule of thumb re: Heinlein novels is that he lost it in the early 1970s, and everything after that time is mediocre at best. Friday is the only real exception to this, although Job comes close in places (it's a bit preachy for my liking).
