"Stranger in a Strange Land" is what turned me off about Heinlein, and if what you say is true about his later works after that, I guess I didn't miss much. I think "Starman Jones" was one of his earlier works and I did enjoy that sort of story line.

I don't consider myself a prude, but when I buy a certain book with expectations based on previous excellent books by the same author, I want it to be new but in the same vein.
