Congrats mrjaguar! Darn my napping schedule, I missed this one. I'm upset we don't get to know his fav book though .

I'm curious, what Heinlein novel was the first people here read? My first was I Will Fear No Evil, recommended by my Jr. High Librarian.

 

[Moonflame]

Stranger in a Strange Land is the book on your desk.

#10 was not asking for my favorite...I was just curious as to what everyones favorite book was. So any Heinlein novel would be a correct answer.

 

[pintail64]

I have all the books that have been named....even JOB. But none of them have been the one I set on my desk. Keep guessing.

Nobody had guessed it so far But VRubin...That is one book I have not read in a long time...might have to find me a copy of it and reread it.

 

[VRubin]

[VRubin]

[pintail64]

Nope, but I will check back at 2:00 CDT to check answers again.....lunch is almost over and it is back to work for me

 

[schaedj]

Maybe it's my personal favorite: Red Planet

 

[Rockalot]

Grumbles from the Grave?

I Have a copy of To Sail Beyond the Sunset his last book donated by his wife and a signed card by her that says she is sorry that he passed away that year and he could not sign it so she did.

I cherish it because he loved her so much.

My favorite has to be The Moon is a Harsh Mistress written in 1965. In that book he describes a catapult that launches empty rockets towards earth using the moons gravity to swing around the moon. Now remember Apollo 13 in 1970 they used the moons gravity to swing around and make it back to earth. He was soo ahead of his time.

 

[pm2006]

I'll go with Moon is a Harsh Mistress

 

[VRubin]

And I'll guess again, Have Space Suit, Will Travel.

 

[pintail64]

I'll go with Moon is a Harsh Mistress

DING DING DING ..........WE HAVE A WINNER.......
