This is the best Heinlein has to offer, right /lit/?

I think Time Enough For Love has more to offer. But if you hate SIASL you probably won't like TEFL either.

Stranger in a Strange Land is hippy dippy horseshit. The one book worth reading from Heinlein is pic related.

My perennial third favorite Heinlein book but likely to drop in the rankings very soon.

imagine disliking sci-fi that goes deeper than "cool space shit pew pew"

I think Starship Troopers is the best, for its discourse on the nature of authority and violence. It would do the faggots on this board a lot of good to read that book, along with watching a lot of gore to disabuse themselves of their infantile view of the world.

I'm pretty sure I first read Starship Troopers and Johnny Tremain contemporaneously.

Have you even read the book, retard? Less than an eighth of it is epic pew-pew science fiction spacefights. It's a treatise on the philosophy of membership in a state and collective duty.

I’ve read it and whatever merits it has are hidden behind dumb characters like the lawyer author-avator with a harem of women including one who is a legal observer with magical observer superpowers.

Puppet Masters is underrated. I don't know why, it doesn't get much love.
