Happy Birthday, RAH
July 2nd, 2007 by StephenWelcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog
Robert A. Heinlein was one of my very favorite authors as I was growing up. His centenary birthday is on Saturday, July 7th. John J. Miller has an article here:
He was the first sci-fi author to make the bestseller lists, the winner of multiple awards, and the inspiration for a legion of proteges and imitators whose own volumes now weigh down bookstore shelves. He was not the most accomplished literary stylist in his genre, but he spun a good yarn, grappled with big questions, and left an enduring imprint on a popular field. He was arguably the preeminent sci-fi author of the 20th century.

Happy birthday to RAH!!! I can still remember his book about Metuselah’s Children. It was a great series that kept me company while I was in college and away from home.

Heinlein hooked me on science fiction with “Have spacesuit will travel” and “The moon is a harsh mistress.”
