I've read the Farmer, the Le Guin and the McCaffrey.
I first read _Dragonquest_ when I was about 13. (Probably within 3
months of my 13th birthday one way or the other.)
I first read _Lathe of Heaven_ when I was about 15. (After I'd read &
purchased every McCaffrey paperback I could find at Paperback Booksmith,
I started into Le Guin.)
I read _To Your Scattered Bodies Go_ when I was 23. And after I'd read
a much more assorted bunch of SF than I had when I was 15.
Plus I married a guy who's read only 1 Le Guin novel, and that one is
it, and he likes it so much that he doesn't want to read any more Le
Guin for fear of disappointment. I keep telling him he really ought to
read _The Dispossessed_. (You may disagree, but you don't know him as
well as I do.)
