I've read pretty much everything he wrote and have his autograph on several books (I literally bled for those autographs).
At times, I could wish the library in Holly Lisle and Ted Nolan's Hell on High could actually exist--The Library of Lost Books. Want James Schmitz sequel to The Witches of Karres? Find it there. Want Robert Heinlein's The Stone Pillow? It's there as well. Want to drown in the ultimate SF slush pile? Shudder... NO!!!

I had a neighbor in... junior high(?) that read through all the Heinlein juveniles. He would show them to me at the bus stop. I distinctly remember him showing me The Rolling Stones and Have Spacesuit, Will Travel.
