I began reading Heinlein with Stranger in a Strange Land (great book). After reading that and expressing my liking of his style, a friend of mine introduced me to his Future History series.

Heinlein had some really interesting ideas, and it is my understanding that this may have been the first book that introduced Lazarus Long - a recurring character in his books.
