I agree some of the ‘top pics’ are just crap....Yawners.

I am surprised any of Heinlein’s books made an NPR list, he did not care much for pansy socialist types.

“I am surprised any of Heinlein’s books made an NPR list, he did not care much for pansy socialist types.”

Did you know he actually ran for political office as a socialist ? He was also a staffer when Upton Sinclair ran for governor of CA on a socialist platform (although he ran on the Dem ticket) in 1934.

I’ve read everything Heinlein ever wrote and I was shocked when I found out he’d once been a socialist.

Yea, but, IIRC, his discussion of sex and gender in "Stranger in A Strange Land" get him on any liberals list.
