Heinlein Readers......are there a lot of us here, or what?

Well I guess his style was irreverent at the least, when I think about it I'm not surprised he did not behave the rules of polite society.

All idols have feet of clay. At least he didn't write using expletives. His editors must have kept it out.

I have been surprised over the years how many things he dreamed up that came to pass. When I read the books computers were a thing scientists had, but now they truly do control homes and provide instant information just as he predicted with his character Minerva. He also predicted many things that happened that seemed far fetched at the time (like cloning!).

Minerva is the name of my Kindle, by the way (each Kindle has a name with Amazon). I don't expect it to become a person, but sometimes it is better company than some people I know!

Anyone with Lazarus for an alter ego wouldn't be too big on "good behaviour" LOL!!

Did you all read Grumbles From the Grave?

 

[savingdogs]

That one doesn't sound familiar, was it published after his death or something?

Yep. Grumbles from the Grave was published by Virginia after his death. Good stuff.
