I've only read Heinlein sporadically -- can't seem to get into the LL series. I didn't like SIASL but I loved one of his later works, "Job: a Comedy of Justice" though I wouldn't recommend it to many Christians.

I think, though, that I tend to like Heinlein more when he's just being entertaining than when he's being philosophical. I like his stories more for their SF premises and the creative things he does with them.
