Esteemed Scholar: Philip A. Petmecky Total Posts in Robert A. Heinlein 175 1. Favorite book and why? My favorite Heinlein book remains "Rocket Ship Galileo". This was the first Science Fiction I read as a teenager and started me in the field. Several years ago I got the "as originaly written version" and enjoyed it as well. i still love rereading the juvnnals at the tender age of 64! I have read all of Heinlein books many times. I have a complete hardbound library of all Heinlein book! One signed by the master. 2. Least favorite book and why? the least favorite of Heinlein those with sex in them. Heinlein did not handle the subject very well. 3. Favorite scene in favorite book and why? Ny favorie scene is from the short story, "the Menace from Earth" and is the scene of flying in the bat's cave. I am a glider/airplane pilot, flight instructor and pilot examiner.
