I'll be honest: I only like his juveniles.
Space Cadet and
Citizen Of The Galaxy are probably my favorites, but I like them all. The stuff he wrote during his "dirty old man" period (i.e. post-
Starship Troopers) leaves me cold.
It would have been neat if my high school had possessed an armory like Patrick Henry High did in Tunnel In The Sky...

I have your take on Heinlein.
In his dotage he didn’t self edit as he wrote. Avoid all the thick books. Just read the normal size or slim ones is my advice.
