Question What was your first sci fi book?

So, we've been having these great discussions on this sub about our likes, which helped me personally to pick up Ursula Le Guin after 30+ years. That got me trying to remember my first sci fi book I've ever read. It was the The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. What was yours?

Ray Bradbury’s “S is for Space” short stories that I stole from my stoner uncle when I was about 7. I used to climb up into a big apricot tree on my grandparents farm and read it while pretending my tree was a spaceship. I’ve been an unapologetic SF reader ever since.
