Been away for a while... ## Robert A. Heinlein "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" Putnam, $17.95 ## ## ISBN 0-399-13103-5 ## For those of you who find Heinlein politically incorrect, skip this posting. For the rest of you: WOW. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" WAS my favorite Heinlein. Before this book. Heinlein starts out in the "Free Luna" universe, about 150 years later - and goes from there. This is peppered with the usual bon mots, in jokes, heroic heros (and more heroic heroines), chivalry, technology, tanstaafl, and joie de vivre (including both ends - warning for the prudish). Unlike some recent Heinleins, this one has a pretty strong plot and some hints of subplot, and an ending like a brick wall. Let your project schedules slip a day. Buy it and read it. I found it at Powells in Portland; it should reach the hinterlands soon. -- Keith Lofstrom MS 59-316, Tektronix, PO 500, Beaverton OR 97077 (503)-627-4052 uucp: {ucbvax,decvax,chico,pur-ee,cbosg,ihnss}!tektronix!vice!keithl CSnet: keithl@tek ARPAnet:keithl.tek@rand-relay
