I like to recommend Methuselah’s Children because it’s where we meet Lazarus Long. The beginning of the Future History, although Lazarus did meet Pinero.

What do you recommend and why?

The very first Heinlein book I read was The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. It featured Lazarus Long, and I went on to read many of his books.

Starship Troopers is a quick read, well worth it.

Stranger in a Strange Land is an all time classic novel, a MUST read.

Time Enough for Love

Have Spacesuit will Travel

Anything really.
