Go to his page. Everybody who reads him agrees. Everyone has their favorite Heinlein story or stories. Mine is STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND, which I pray will be made into a movie. I have SIASL's original uncut book. It could be a great four-hour flick.

And of course, this EXPANDED UNIVERSE covers much of his early work, which is most appreciated by RAH fanatics such as me.
Still, He started brilliant and kept on getting brilliant-er. Consider the stories about time traveling as well as whatever sci-fi plot they pursue. Maybe a good strategy is to read His latter-day books and then go back to the early days; that's what I've done. It's a good study...

Here's a pretty amusing quote from one of his story forewords

"I had always planned to quit the writing business as soon as that mortgage was paid off. I had never had any literary ambitions, no training for it, no interest in it- backed into it by accident and stuck with it to pay off debt, I being always firmly resolved to quit the silly bus iness once I had my chart squared away."

One pretty awful quitter, apparently. )

So, given he failed to quit, we finally end up with this book. It takes The Worlds of Robert A. Heinlein and adds more, so actually Expanded Worlds, if you want to be techincal.

It reprints some stories, and some of the non-fiction from there, and adds several more of each.

The non-fiction contents ranges from Foreword type anecdotes as found in other books, and he isn't taking himself particularly seriously in these.

More serious are things like essays on atomic war, how to survive such a thing, editorials, articles and lectures on American-Soviet relations, and even the odd related rant.

Some of this obviously informed some of the story content - and he does explicitly point this out afterwards, particularly some of the stories about veterans.

If you were going to pick just one Heinlein book, this would be a good choice.

It wasn't the book I thought it was but that my error, not 's. Still a great book by a wonderful author.
Not surprising that Heinlein's first few stories were badly written. He made up for it later on. But this book will be of interest mainly to critics and biographers. As a dedicated Heinlein fan, I ground through about 2/3 of the book but finally gave up.
A grouping of many stories. Not a novel. Plus a look into the missed opportunities that we can still fulfill.
Actually, this is a replacement copy of a book i have had for years. I own every book Robert Heinlein ever wrote, and have difficulty comparing them, or evaluating them for that matter. I would highly recommend them to anyone that likes to read scifi and likes to think. My kids started reading them at about age 10. (30 years ago) and still do.

Great way to read Heinlein. Plenty of his works. Solid stories and well-written tomes. Reasonable price for a great book in good condition.
A brilliant mix of fiction and non-fiction, along with interesting if somewhat dated commentary.
