• A Miracle Come True (Sort Of)

  
  A Dude's Guide — Authority: 127
  By Richard So I was flying out to Dallas the other day. I took the little dudes out there to see my dad and much of the rest of that side of the family for a bit before Christmas. Anyway, I was on an American Airlines plane. Of course it was packed. Of course it was running a bit late. However, I did get excited by ...

• Reading Neglected Books: Red Planet – Robert A. Heinlein

  
  Not The Baseball Pitcher — Authority: 470
  I first read RED PLANET when I was twelve or thirteen and a couple of times since then, though it had been many years since the last time. When R.T. covered this one in last Friday’s Forgotten Books, that was my first inclination that a different version had been presented to the reading public. I knew some of ...

• Orphans of the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein

  
  Auxiliary Memory — Authority: 415
  Orphans of the Sky is one of Robert Heinlein lesser known novels, even though it’s one of his best.  It’s hard to talk about the novel without giving away its big idea, but it’s not likely I’ll convince you to read it without telling.  This short novel is made up from two novelettes first published in ...

• Kindle Schmindle

  
  When Falls the Coliseum — Authority: 485
  I have a house full of books. Every room in the house has bookshelves. Last summer, I put four new six foot tall shelves in the basement and filled them, front and back — that got the books off the floor around the rest of the house. That’s the second time I’ve done this. So, some people like the clutter of ...

  Gerry Canavan — Authority: 146
  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. I am well acquainted with your penchant for morbid humor and yet the suggestion that I might write a short “piece” for a speculative fiction magazine ...

  Moe Lane — Authority: 609
  Yeah, I know: but Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between was something that I had grabbed for my wife to pass the time while waiting for midwife appointments, mostly because of the cover art.  I’m ...

  Philip K. Dick had a series of dreams about needing to find an unidentified book.

The first dream on July 4 was much more explicit than any before; I took down my ...

• Read: November 2009

  
  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. I don’t think I liked this much as the previous books in the series. It seemed to be straying too much into modern crime territory, with its ...

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

  
  Alexandria — Authority: 150
  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: 129
  “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: 609
  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 ...
