Now if this quiz & its results doesn't tell you 100 things about me at once, I don't know what will.

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

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.
