Heinlein Centennial Week

phil — 7/1/2007 11:29:52 PM (archived)

Been 100 years since Robert Heinlein's birth.

I was a major fan of his 'juvenile' books, having been raised on them. I also loved the adult 'Door Into Summer' 'Puppet Masters', 'Starship Troopers' etc. did not care much for his writings post 'Stranger' where he manifested old guy neediness for young females.
