The paranoid Puppet Masters was one I quite liked, paranoia was a really hot topic when I first read it. Double Star, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Beyond this Horizon and The Door into Summer have some issues for today's audiences but I enjoyed them at the time. Starship Troopers ( juvenile or adult?) I liked as well. But now Between Planets, Starman Jones, Have Spacesuit Will Travel, Farmer in the Sky and Space Cadet are among my favourites. I also like his magazine work, I must reread Universe and see how it holds up. Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Happy Reading<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-67826618164741201682017-05-16T00:42:57.681-07:002017-05-16T00:42:57.681-07:00I haven't a lot of interest in Heinlein's ...I haven't a lot of interest in Heinlein's later stuff either, though I've read them of course. However his earlier adult books are certainly worth a look -- Double Star, Puppet Masters, the Past Through Tomorrow collection (which includes Orphans of the Sky, The Menace From Earth, and If This Goes On), Door Into Summer, Glory Road, etc. If you liked the juveniles you'll like some of these as well.paintedjaguarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12543155841059132978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-30804831973517575852017-05-15T14:51:34.530-07:002017-05-15T14:51:34.530-07:00Hi Jim

I picked up Scribner's first, then I found a couple of Gollancz,editions the Between Planets had a lovely Sir Issac Newton (one of my all time favourite Heinlein characters) on the cover. But lately the graphics on these have really caught my eye. Since it is the juveniles I am most attracted to it is a nice fit. I really have no interest in his later novels.<br /><br />Regards<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-47667030045252111992017-05-15T08:41:27.785-07:002017-05-15T08:41:27.785-07:00It seemed like it took forever for those Heinlein ...It seemed like it took forever for those Heinlein juveniles to come to paperback. When they did I didn't like the covers because they weren't like the covers on the Scribner editions. But seeing them here makes them look better.<br /><br />I'm usually partial to covers from the editions I read first.Jim Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953679196185650753noreply@blogger.com
