I recently re-read "Glory Road" which is a rather atypical RAH book in many ways. Not so much SF and the hero refuses to screw around on his woman, which was A-OK with RAH in his books and real life.

I suspect the FReepers that like his later works are more of a libertarian bent than conservative, if not liberal sleepers, like one on this thread cheering his work.

When I read his stuff as a teenager, I just read for the SF. Later on, I noticed the free-sex and other creepy stuff threaded through. SIASL is a very creepy book.

“SIASL is a very creepy book.”

I didn’t make it far enough to get to the creepy part, it was just boring to me, and my schoolmates.

I remember that so well, I thought the boys would really want to keep reading it, but it turned out nobody liked it very much.

I don’t think I’ve ever read anything else by Heinlein. I’m not that big of a Sci Fi person.
