Which Heinlein Book Should You Have Been A Character In?
brought to you by Quizilla

One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from this book: "Never frighten a little man. He'll kill you." --From the Notebooks of Lazarus Long

I'm still gaming the quiz until I can get Starship Troopers or Tunnel in the Sky, as those are the only Heinlein books I can read...

You belong in the Cat Who Walks Through Walls. You
are creative and cunning. Your works often
feel empty to you, though others love them.
You suspect that the universe and everyone in
it are just characters in someone else's story.

Somebody will have to tell me if this is correct; I loathe Heinlein.

The problem with this novel is that it even diehard heinlein fans will tell you it sucks. This was written in the later phase of his life, long after he'd lost the ability to plot a novel.

I know I read it, and there's absolutely nothing memorable about it. I couldn't even tell you what the book was about. Sorry.

There are Heinlein fans who will admit he wrote something awful?! ;)

You know what, I lied. I did like The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag.

Sure. I like Heinlein, but I think that latter half of his work sucks. Especially when he, like Asimov, decided he needed to combine all of his previously popular works into one big megaverse, in imitation of Niven's future history (which at the time was a brand-spankin' new concept).

I suppose I wouldn't count as a Heinlein fan... I like his juveniles (Starship Troopers, Tunnel in the Sky, etc.) and that's about it.

I've tried to read his other stuff and always end up putting it down before the end, and that's rare for me. I did manage to force my way through Friday, although I'll never understand why.

You are older than you look.

Yup, you've heard that before.

People throw themselves on you, begging to be with you.

Well, I know I've begged on occasion...

I'd say this was "too much information" if I hadn't scored the identical book...
*grin*
It would have been entirely too easy to get Stranger in a Strange Land - all the "water" references... cute quiz tho'.
Now, how do I get those people throwing themselves at me to be truly quality people?
*cheesy grin*
