Heh, my dad started me on Heinlein's juvenile novels when I was nine. Got permanently twisted after that.

Read Starship Troopers... so so, I take it you didn't think much of any of the others?

If you're computer geek now, it means you've been twisted in a good way, I got twisted into computer geekdom after my odd older brother and Asimov.

I love the stuff Heinlein wrote in his early years, for teens, and a few of his later novels like Troopers or "Moon is a Harsh Mistress". Then he... well, I don't like what he did later. Heinlein was one of my formative interests. I read Asimov too, but Heinlein was my inspiration.
