11 posts | 17 read | 13 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author of Starship Troopers and the first Grand Master of Science Fiction... Lazarus Long 1916-4272 The capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein's famous Future History, Time Enough for Love follows Lazarus Long through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Heinlein's longest and most ambitious work, it is the story of a man so in love with Life that he refused to stop living it; and so in love with Time that he became his own ancestor.

My first ereader is still going strong... I might switch back for longer than just that book (loving the instant opening of books and the metal casing, plus that cover was hand made by a friend)

That's why I keep going back to reading Heinlein even with his backward view on women... Because I started by reading stranger in a strange land and his way of defining mariage and found family is not conventional and strangely aligned to mine.

My current ereader (à pocketbook touch lux, 6 or 7 years old) is taking ages to open the tagged epub, so I'm trying to revive my older Sony ereader, while reading on my husband Kobo...
I don't want to buy another reader but that lagging for big books is inconvenient and the firmware has not had an update since 2014... It's mostly a good ereader just not today.

Planning my summer reading by uploading books on the tablet... But that not taking into account paper books or reticence by Gail Carriger which will be out in August and a priority read ;)

Found this old one.
Wonderful reading. Good start for a romp through the classics of Sci Fi.

Where to even begin with this book? It has so much going on and so many characters. I really enjoyed the themes in the book, how love and family can transform you, but it‘s definitely not my fsvourite Heinlein.

Why am I subjecting myself to Heinlein's smug, macho libertarianism? Yawn. I don't think I'll have the energy or enthusiasm to finish and scratch this doorstop off my TBR list. Any SF recommendations?

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I know he's one of the science fiction greats but I could never get into him either. Ever read any of the Culture books? Check out 7y
RanaElizabeth Are you looking for SF classics or any SF? Do you like epics with huge worlds or smaller, character focused works? Because...man, I love doing recommendations! 7y
manifestsanity @RanaElizabeth Any SF. Epic, intimate, classic, contemporary. Bring it on. Maybe some newish mindblowers. 7y

RanaElizabeth @manifestsanity Newish mindblower made me think of Becky Chambers. 7y
RanaElizabeth Also the Wool series. 7y
RanaElizabeth I gobbled down the Expanse series recently. Really good science grounding. 7y
RanaElizabeth Doris Lessing, Octavia Butler, Ursula K. LeGuin all are older writers. And there's always Ender's Game if you can get past the fact that the author is a horrible person. 7y
manifestsanity @RanaElizabeth Thank you for the wealth of suggestions. I appreciate it! Lots of new ideas. 7y
xicanti Karin Lowachee, Elizabeth Bear, and Joan D. Vinge write my favourite SF (though I much prefer the latter's doorstops to her shorter books). 7y
RanaElizabeth @xicanti @manifestsanity Ohh! I highly agree with the Elizabeth Bear recommendation. 7y
bitterbear THANK YOU!!! Can't stand this guy. 7y
bitterbear Read some 7y
bitterbear She's awesome and freaky!!! 😉😉 7y

As usual, superb storytelling from RAH. Lazarus Long, aka Woodrow Wilson Smith, aka many others... is a highly memorable protagonist with a unique story. 2300+ years old and very much in love with life, as well as numerous women. 😁 Warning: plot involves incest, so if that puts you off, beware.
