Has no one here read Farnham’s Freehold?

Yep. I think I've read all 50+ of his novels. My favorites were Citizen of the Galaxy, Starship Troops, Have Spacesuit, Will Travel, Podkayne of Mars, Methusaleh's Children and the Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. His later novels were too sexual for my taste.

I have read every word Heinlein ever put to paper, I think.

I had a Heinlein phase where I would consume anything associated with him. So any of his 70+ books and countless short stories, I know them all.

Farnham’s Freehold is also an excellent recommendation. Will never read anything similar, I’m sure. Hard to discuss that one without spoiling key story elements tho.

Oh, yes! I’ve read it! Perhaps not his best, IMO, but definitely worth reading!

Yep. It’s the one that folks refer to when they call Heinlein a racist. Well, that and Sixth Column. I also like them both, but as someone said about the Star Beast, a bit light.
