I read truckloads of Heinlein in my teens. Truckloads.
My husband had never read him, so I started listing out books for him to read. (He's very much into reading the classics of science fiction.) Through his eyes, I got a very new perspective on Heinlein--an it wasn't as flattering as I thought it would be.
Matt was most annoyed with the obligatory social commentary and the books written for adolescents. In retrospect, I can't say I blame him.
