Re: What were you reading in 1968?

1968 ... Junior high, then.  I'd read a bunch of Hardy Boys
books, one or two of which had SFNal elements in them.  (The
Mad Scientist (TM) with the freeze ray, for instance.)

Several Tom Swift Jr. novels.  One "Rick Brant", which I
thought was kind of "meh", and never looked for any more.
The "Mike Mars" books.  What little was in the junior high
library, which did include Heinlein's "Have Spacesuit,
Will Travel."  Some Ace Doubles, one of which included "Dome
Around America" and "The Paradox Men".

About this same time frame, I read "Soldier, Ask Not", which
I also kind of bounced off of.

The town library had Analog Annuals, and a few Best Of
anthologies, but I'm fuzzy on the time frame of when I
got into those.
