To Sail Beyond the Sunset is pretty poor - Heinlein revisiting large numbers of characters from previous books and trying to tie them together into one coherent timeline and family. I didn't say it was good, but you are actually right. :) Probably not a good recommendation for a not-quite-my-first Heinlein then (though it was my first, now I come to think of it.) Stranger is okay if you can overlook the low level misogynism that pervades. I agree that it's a classic (and the edited version is marginally better), but it's a difficult read for the above reason. Oddly enough, I can't remember that and I always thought of myself as a feminist. Pah!
