Loved Heinlein as well. Really enjoyed The Childe Cycle books. It’s a shame Gordon R. Dickson died before finishing the series. The Tactics of Mistake was a classic.

I love the Dorsai! Books myself, except for the Final Encyclopedia, which is draggy in parts. Great concept.

Ping for later enjoyment. I think I prefer Jack Vance to Mr. Heinlein, but that’s more a distinction without much difference. They’re both great.

Heinlein rocks. He is the bedrock of my personal philosophy. Tanstaafl!

In my youth in the Military on Deployment I read Heinlein (all of them that I could get) then James Michener (big long books that last and last) then Leon Uris to try and understand the Middle East.
All the while I listened to cassette tapes (that I recorded at the Service Center) by Ray Charles, Nat “King” Cole, the Platters and a man that many years later I met and became an acquaintance to... and I will always call him my buddy Mr Fats Domino (Kindest Soul you could ever meet).
Good times, good memories.
