OK.....so Heinlein=Shakespeare?

Within the science fiction world, yes, you can consider him on par with what Shakespeare was for English literature overall.

Aww Stewie, don't get your feelings hurt because I don't like Her.

You might personally disagree, but it's strange to reply in such a bristly manner to such a common appraisal.

It's up to you. I was giving you a friendly recommendation. But no, I honestly don't give a damn if you decide not read it. Your loss.

I always appreciate recommendations, it was just your assessment of Heinlein I was taking issue with.

Calling Heinlein "one of the greatest science fiction minds ever" is like calling William Shakespeare "one of the greatest writers in the English language". Or Mozart/Beethoven "one of the greatest composers ever". You might personally disagree, but it's strange to reply in such a bristly manner to such a common appraisal.
