Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Anson Heinlein

One of the greatest science fiction novels ever published; the book that started a cult; a compulsary read for everybody on earth; the hippy bible from the 60s - Stranger in a Strange Land's original manuscript had 50,000 words cut. Now they have been reinstated for this special 30th anniversary trade edition. A Mars-born earthling arrives on this planet for the first time as an adult, and the sensation he creates teaches Earth some unforgettable lessons. Suggested by Jim Heath

The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress by Robert Anson Heinlein

The winner of four Hugo Best Novel Awards--a record that still stands--Robert A. Heinlein was the greatest science fiction writer of his era. His bestselling Stranger in a Strange Land was one of the biggest cult books of the century. Many people like this book even better. A gripping tale of revolution on the moon in 2076, where "Loonies" are kept poor and oppressed by an Earth-based Authority that turns huge profits at their expense. A small band of dissidents, including a one-armed computer jock, a radical young woman, a past-his-prime academic and a nearly omnipotent computer named Mike, ignite the fires of revolution despite the near certainty of failure and death. Bill Kalke says:-- Originates the phrase "TANSTAAFL", ie There Ain't No Such Thing as a free lunch. Features a cognitive supercomputer that passes itself off as human via video transmissions. Great complement to Stranger in a Strange Land which appealed to the Left - Moon tends to appeal to the Right, though it's very prominant Family Values are far from "mainstream" America.

	Time Enough for Love by Robert Anson Heinlein
Although "Stranger" might be more uplifting, Woodrow Wilson Smith's biography is considered by many to be Heinlein's most prescriptive and all-encompassing book. Join the fun, carefree, and slightly strange family of Lazarus Long - arguably the greatest science fiction character ever. Suggested by Jim Heath
