Heinlein's "—All You Zombies—" and "By His Bootstraps" are great, tightly constructed short stories which explore the major paradoxes inherent in time travel. Everything else he wrote is shit though.

Stephen King made her sound so sexy in On Writing. I imagined her to be this really demure librarian type with long legs in stockings. I'm really disappointed, man.
