I came to Heinlein pretty late in the game, reading Stranger in a Strange Land while I was downrange, and after having read one of his seminal works, I have absolutely no desire to read another one. WTH was that fuckery? I mean, it's one thing to read a book with some very problematic worldviews, and steeped in mores of a far different era. But the story was... I didn't care. I couldn't find it in myself to care about a single of one of the characters.

Hell, even the Mission Earth dekalogy by Hubbard, rife as it with problematic views. (Many of which it ook a while for me to figure out. It was after reading into Scientology and the anti-pscyhology/homosexuality/equality bullshit, that I realized that Soltan Gris's fascination with psychology was supposed to show how dumb it was, or the "harem girl" who associated with little boys was actually a homosexual straw character because all homosesxual men like little children, right?) at least told an interesting story.

Great review, and very helpful in my not feeling bad about not reading more Heinlein.
