Revolt in 2100 (a collection of short stories and novellas) is my favorite. It was paired with Methuselah's Children (originally a serialized novella published in 1941, but released as a stand alone novel in 1958)
Stranger in a Strange Land was a turning point novel for him. IMPO, the best book from that second time period was The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. It's still my favorite Heinlien novel.
Time Enough for Love was the next turning point novel. IMPO, everything from Time Enough for Love onward was drek.

Thanks, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is on my TBR list. I bought it as an Amazon deal of the day for 2.99 a while back. I remember as a kid my brother liked Stranger in a Strange Land. Like the David Bowie film of the same title
