Time Enough For Love

Anyone read this Heinlein classic? I've never read it but I always though that it had one of the best titles of any book.

Yeah, I have. It ties up some things from his other alternate history books quite nicely.

Re: Time Enough For Love

Indeed it does; it is (or was, until he extended the connections further with his later books) the capstone of the series. It has its weaknesses, but nonetheless it remains a personal favorite for several reasons -- one of which is that my impression of the book and its emphasis changes with each reading. In other words, it's a seemingly fairly simple book which is actually complex in its dealing with many themes....

One of my favourites, too - and it contains what, in my opinion, is the best story he ever wrote - The Tale of the Adopted Daughter,one of the few stories to bring a lump to my throat at the end, even on the umpteenth reading.

My own favourite part was "The Man who was Too Lazy to Fail."

It's been a few years for me but I have fond memories of this book, also. I went through a period of time a decade or so ago where I read either most or all of his future history.
