Re: Anyone interested in a Heinlein reading group?

Where does a wise man hide a leaf? Yes, everyone knows the answer to that. And, volume for volume my apartement must be considered a better place to hide a book than anywhere, with the possible exception of a couple of second-hand bookshops I've been in.
Still, this is ridiculous. I carefully selected out my Hainleins (which enabled me to file "Pandora's star" and "Judas unchained" at last, piled them up, and posted a list of them here. Shortly before Easter, observing how the poll was going, I separated one with a bluish cover featuring a ginger kitten tearing its way out from the interior.
Then came Easter, and it was decided to put a short interruption into my generally troglodytic existence; dragged out to sun, fresh air and non-plastic food.
Return, suntanned, exercised and… where had I put it? Black magic, cat burglar, vindictive pigeon? The entire space is only three metres by four, and there's a shower in that. Oh, I've got time, they're hardly talking about "Puppet masters" yet, but even so. If it's walked through the wall…
Anyway, I've now got "Rocketship Gallileo" - not that it's a great, but, seeing it, it was obviously essential.
