Read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress yesterday and this evening - my first Heinlein. Interesting book, and considering what I'd heard and was worried about, I was pleasantly how mild the POV-pushing was. One thing I noted was that it covers a lot of story and time well, without seeming to rush much. After I'd finished I'd felt I had read a much longer story (in a good way).

It does probably works better for people on the other side of the pond, though. And for people who share his politics.

Ditto - started with the juveniles while in primary school (I think the first I read was Between Planets, which isn't exactly an auspicious beginning), and had devoured the Heinlein content of my local library (almost a complete set of the Gollancz hardcovers) by the time I'd turned twelve or thirteen.
