The movie was interesting, but the books are absolutely incredible! However, seeing the movie first, I can only see Danzel Washington's face and voice when I try to picture Lincoln. Still works out fine!

Casting was good. I just didn't like what they ended up cutting out of the book to make the movie. Better off seeing the movie first as you don't realize what was cut out and how thin it is.

So you feel its the narrative voice that makes it?

This is on my TBR list along with Shards of Honor but Baen and/or Bujold almost tripled the price for the ebook.

Does anyone remember reading "The Butterfly Kid?" I'd love to re-read this delightful romp through the Greenwich Village of my formative years.

They are addictive. Miles is a great character, and the supporting cast is compelling and fun. I just recently finished a re-read of the entire series, and was captivated again.

Yes. And thank you! I've not read it, but have tried to read several of his stories and novels and have yet to get beyond a few pages.
Well I have a fuller review here:

Sixth Column by Robert A. Heinlein.
Also known as "The Day After Tomorrow" (thanks, alansplace), and I think I have read it under that title, but a vey long time ago.

It's Heinlein's first novel, on an outline by John W Campbell. An interesting early work, but definitely with its roots in the pulp super-science era. I enjoyed it, but perhaps more for the Heinlein insights rather than the story itself.

Next, another random selection from the TBR pile: Spaceman Blues by Brian Francis Slattery. This is a freebie from Tor. I abandon it after 10%. It is being written in a pretentious present tense style that is getting right up my nose, and the story is not interesting enough to put up with that. If I had read the Amazon description "literary retro-pulp science-fiction-mystery-superhero novel" I probably would not be starting it.

Next up: A freebie (no longer free) from BookViewCafe: Starfarers by Vondra N. McIntyre.

If you enjoyed it for that reason, I'd recommend "Assignment in Eternity", also by published by Baen. It too is very early Heinlein (a collection of a couple of novellas and a couple of long-ish short stories).

I've certainly read that one. I think I've read all Heinlein's books at some time or other.

But I will, no doubt, pick up that book when it makes it into another Baen monthly bundle in the future, hopefully the July 2013 bundle.

I really don't. I could go the rest of my life without reading one of those stories. Well, at least the rest of the year. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I've been reading a good amount of comics lately, so I haven't had too much of a chance to read novels. As a result, I haven't finished The Gun Seller yet, but I should finish it off tonight and move on. To what, I don't know.

I'm floundering after reading 11/22/63...

Tried a sample of Exodus by Uris... didn't catch my interest.

Now reading a sample of Atlas Shrugged to see what all the fuss is about.
