You even read those interminable late period Heinlein novels like ‘Time Enough For Love’?

Actually, no. I should have said I read everything Heinlein had in print while I was growing up, up until about 1971 when I was a freshman in college. I know he kept coming out with novels after that but by then I was reading other stuff.

By the way, one novel that bored me was ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’. It’s ironic that that was the book that gave Heinlein his mainstream cred, and I could never figure it out. My suspicion was that the book was sci-fi with (at least a little) sex, and that really hadn’t been done before.

I do remember that the title - - ‘Time Enough for Love’ - - rolled my eyes and I wondered if it was another ‘Stranger’. I believe ‘I Will Fear No Evil’ was the last Heinlein book I read.

FRegards,
