Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein.

Heinlein's book Stranger in a Strange Land is probably one of the most famous sci-fi books of all time. My thread discusses a little bit about the characters of Jubal Harshaw, Michael Valentine Smith, and Jill Broadman. I discuss how the story is a bit like a travelogue, while also being the story of the passage of knowledge through generations. I also compare the book to Heinlein's book Friday and to George Bernard Shaw.

Here is the link to the Penguin Random House edition of Stranger in a Strange Land.

Also, I checked this book out from the Jefferson County Public Library in Colorado.

This volume of Patterson's work discusses Heinlein's life from 1948 to 1988. My thread discusses some of Heinlein's political ideals, his support of America's space program, some of Heinlein's travels, and some of the celebrities Heinlein met.

Here is a link to more info on the book from the publisher, as well.
