I did not know people still read Heinlein. I own a copy of everything he ever wrote. My favorite is "Glory Road". That has got to be the best one he ever wrote. Most people will say Stranger in a strange land, is he best. But, my opinion, Glory road, has more suspense.

I think Heinlein is one of those authors that people will keep rediscovering over time.
