Probably my second favorite sci-fi book is a Philip K. Dick collection. I have reread 1984.

Stranger in a Strange Land is on my Kindle to be read on vacation. I am on a mission to read more of Robert Heinlein this year. For some reason I overlooked this arthor, except for The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.



Good thread! I got some ideas out of it.
I do think that The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress is Heinlein's best story, but that I Will Fear No Evil and Time Enough For Love each produced more memorable quotes. I also feel Anne McCaffrey's All The Weyrs Of Pern echoed the ending of The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress a bit.
