Heinlein Fans here?

Yes, very much a fan here. While I wouldn't let my kids read/listen to the books when they were younger due to some of the "adult" content in most of his books, I think he was a very good writer. He certainly had a way of drawing you into his stories and making you forget about everything else that is going on in the world. Just finished re-reading "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" for the 3rd or 4th time.

Big Heinlein fan here. Though on that cover, Lazarus should be concealing the blaster under his kilt. I always enjoyed the fact that a lot of his characters wore kilts.

Emphatically yes. Thanks for the Astounding cover. I had forgotten that artwork!

My wife and I are members of Audible an online site for books "on tape" which you are able to download to an IPod, etc. Have recently been getting a lot of Heinlein books, and am loving listening to them as I jog at the gym, or drive to a jobsite. The stories, even though many were written before spaceflight was in full swing are great studies in human nature. I even found a series of his short stories which was acted out like an old time radio show. Definately good listening!

Big RAH fan here!

I've been a huge Heinlein fan since I was a teenager. I'm re-re-reading Time Enough For Love now. Powell's Books is a good source for his books, online. You just do a search for Robert A Heinlein on their site.

Another fan here. To my great satisfaction, I was able to pass the attraction on to my son, and I'm currently working on grandkids. Even had a cat named "Pete" at one point. I have a book, "The Notebooks of Lazarus Long", a collection of most of the sayings of one of his principal characters. The original copy left home when my son did. To his credit, my son sent me a new copy shortly thereafter.

That kilt looks a tad short to be conceiling anything.

I still remember my disappointment at finding that most of the science fiction writers had surnames close to the beginning of the alphabet.

Yes, I did start at the beginning of the racks and work my way through them: Anderson, Azimov, Clarke, Heinlein, basically anything in a yellow cover.

What joy it was to finish off my homework and dive into a good story.

I went through all the science fiction in the adult library straight after getting a ticket for it - having outgrown the children's section some years earlier.

Once upon a time, when computers were programmed using switches....
