Heinlein


I've been re-reading some of my Heinlein collection recently.

I still think "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is one of the best SF novels ever written. I've worn out two paperbacks and now own it in e-book format.

Farah Mendlesohn has completed her book about Heinlein and his work and I'm expecting it to be an interesting and thought-provoking read. She's an expert on the subject and the author of several well-regarded literary works on SF and fantasy.

It ended up being too long (500 pages) for most academic publisers, so she's crowdfunding it. I've just pre-ordered my copy.

My favourite what? SF novel? SF series? Heinlein novel?
In answer to all of the above, how could anyone expect me to pick just one?

Heinlein: Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Citizen of the Galaxy
SF series: toss up between Vorkosigan (Bujold) and Liaden (Lee & Miller)
SF novel: ... no, I'm not going to even try
