  Gerry Canavan — Authority: 441
  Probably the best short story in The Apex Book of World SF . By Kristen Mandigma. Now, to your letter. I confess to having read it with some consternation.

  Sharp Words — Authority: 106
  Unseen Academicals , Terry Pratchett. Own copy, re-read for 2009. See my October reading list for my opinion of this. Revelation , C J Sansom. Library book, first read.

• Sigaliris and the inescapable logic of Heinlein’s multiverse…

  
  Alexandria — Authority: 489
  I had reviewed my previous couple of posts and was gratified to see that the one on civility had gone to twenty-five comments, even though more than half were on Heinlein. I wasn’t all that surprised by that, since it must be an internet truism that any posting on the internet, given enough time, will work its way ...

• Heinlein on censorship by government

  
  Stars Over Washington — Authority: 130
  “When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been ...

• Book of the Week: Take Back Your Government.

  
  Moe Lane — Authority: 645
  This one via Instapundit , and I’ve heard of it in the past: Take Back Your Government , by Bob Heinlein. I’d say “Yes, the Bob Heinlein” – except that nobody would dare write under the same name. It’s a practical treatise on local electoral politics that I suspect a bunch of people would like to ...

  Out of the list of awesome things you’ve accomplished, including bathing a kitty, chopping celery and catching a pineapple in your mouth, there’s some other things as a human being, and even more, as a design engineer, you should be able to do.

  Book News and Reviews — Authority: 114
  I’ll admit to not being the most consistent blogger in the world, but with the holidays coming up my mind has turned to books.  They are (usually) a cheap and interesting present that people will appreciate - even if they don’t read them, a book will make them look more learned when displayed on the coffee ...

• Review: Starship Troopers

  
  The Geeky Librarian — Authority: 103
  Starship Troopers in one of the benchmarks of the science fiction cannon, as well as just about the most troubling book in it.  This is the book that gave birth to proper military s.f; with everything from Aliens to Halo borrowing themes and idea from it.  It’s the first and possibly the best book about an ...
