Oh my, I hadn't been able to find all the Heinlein's till I got to college at UB. (Buffalo) 1977. And Lockwood library had an awesome fiction collection. Scifi was in the basement (of course) But I still recall staring at these immense stacks and thinking, 'this is more books than I can read'. Anyway I started reading "Have Spacesuit will Travel" sitting on the floor and eventually got up and found an open 'cubbie' study hole. And finished it off. "Wow what a nice tale", I thought to myself. That's still how I think of Heinlein, he wrote nice tales/ stories. Stories that I would somehow like to be a part of.
I still haven't read all the Heinleins, but most of them! When he's good, yes - no matter how uncomfortable or nasty the circumstances are, part of me does want to be part of his stories!
