TANSTAAFL.
I read a bunch of Robert Heinlein novels recently i really like the Puppet Masters, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls.
Starship Troopers was ok and i quit The Number of the Beast half way through...couldn’t take it anymore.
Robert A. Heinlein? Who Dat?
(Sarcasm)
I liked that novel a lot. Very interesting cast of characters.
Is this the Benford of “Benford’s Law?”
That’s the observation that numerical data results feature leading ones more often than one might expect.
Adam Selene approves
I found some of Heinlein’s later works to be unreadable.
Thanks, I did check after I posted (maybe I should have before).
Good for him. Benford has written some great stuff.
Used to love sci fi fifty or sixty years ago; now, it’s all Lefty politics.
You aren’t reading David Weber, John Ringo and some of the authors they collaborate with...
Thanks for the tips. I’m getting tired of rereading my oldies.
Thanks for the lead; I’ll look for their titles.
