I don't know about anyone else, but my goal when reading fiction is entertainment.

I've never read one word of Heinlein (for no particular reason, I simply haven't gotten around to reading him), but consider myself well exposed to sci-fi. Asimov, Brin, Card, Clarke, Herbert, McCaffrey, Simmons, others I can't think of off the top of my head. Feel free to point and laugh.
