You can read it by itself, although I recommend reading the others first.

Mr. Snowy is a big Heinlein fan. He says the following..

Stranger In a Strange land
Time Enough for Love
The Number of the Beast

That is the actual order, though they weren't written as a trilogy. Each can stand alone.

Actually Lazarus Long comes from Methuselah's Children, and is nearly unrelated to the other titles. That you have a sequel is incorrect. Time Enough for Love is real late Heinlein though, fantastic and lascivious.

My favorite Heinlein book. Feel free to continue reading it. It stands on its on--although it does expand upon an earlier short.

GREAT book! An excellent book to share with a wife/husband. Especially the story about Lazarus and Dora.

If you're going to read Time Enough for Love, try to shoehorn To Sail Beyond the Sunset somewhere in there. It deals with an important character in Time and other Heinlein works.

Time enough for love stands on its own. However, Number of the beast ties together Time enough for Love, Stranger in a strange Land, and The Monn is a harsh Mistress

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Personally, I thought Stranger in a Strange Land was not very good, in spite of its mild eroticism. On the other hand, Starship Troopers was not too bad.
