Heinlein to read: the short stories in the Future History collections (The Man Who Sold the Moon is a good place to start, followed by The Green Hills of Earth and Revolt in 2100); The Door into Summer (SF timetravelling romance at its best); Starship Troopers; The Moon is a Harsh Mistress; any of the juveniles, since they're possibly the best stuff he wrote (The Rolling Stones and Have Spacesuit - Will Travel are especially good, as is Between Planets).
Heinlein to avoid: Farnham's Freehold (to quote Dorothy Parker: this is not a book to tossed aside lightly - it should be thrown with great force); Stranger in a Strange Land (overrated); anything written after 1970.
