Heinlein Reread

Index for my reread of some/all of the works of Robert A. Heinlein.

I'm not doing these in any particular order. I'm starting on Citizen of the Galaxy because the Darrell Sweet cover inspired me, but then I'll likely go back to the starting days. I'll read the shorts in the earliest collection I can (SKIP for the duplicates). In particular, I read Green Hills of Earth when I was sick, about age 9 or 10, and it was such a massive influence on me.

Garbage done for Campbell is not included. Opinions on Heinlein's books (or anyone's) are like assholes: Everyone else's stinks, and I don't want to see or smell yours.

"We pray for one last landing

On the globe that gave us birth;

Let us rest our eyes on fleecy skies

And the cool, green hills of Earth."

—Rhysling, "Green Hills of Earth"
