Heinlein was my favorite author when I was in the 5th and 6th grades.

(Probably warped me forever...)

Just last week saw Rifftrax live do “Starship Troopers” at the theater. It was a hoot.

Heinlein is one of the best sci-fi reads out there.

Me too. A friend pointed me to the first book, I hoovered the rest. I wonder who else in our generation has touched so many... I know he helped shape my world view. I hear this from so many people, and yet he only wrote science fiction.

Ditto. Between Heinlein, Asimov, and Niven I got permanently warped. I wish it were happening to kids these days...
