Trust me, I don't walk unseen, I've won no rings, and never guested with eagles. The others may or may not be applicable.

I never read "Stranger in a Strange Land" - well, I started it but I kind of hated it, so I gave up. Heinlein got a little weird there. Too bad.

Still, he was the best when he was good.

Ever read any Keith Laumer? He's one of my 'recent' discoveries, within the last three years I've read close to half of what he wrote. He's best know for his "Retief" and 'Bolo' stories. I love Retief, hate the bolos. He also had a lot of grand old stories - dystopias, what have you.

Next you're gonna tell me you're not a burahobbit :)

I haven't read any Laumer, but I like dystopias, at least certain ones (I should say, I like pre-cyberpunk dystopias). What's his stuff like?
