 -LN> At the library book sale the other day I got Robert Heinlein's
 -LN> "The Cat Who Walked Through Walls."
 
 -LN> Has anyone read it?  Did you like it? And if you did or did not
 -LN> like it, tell me if you liked "Dune".
 BL> Have you ever read any other Heinlein books? It was one of his last
 BL> books, and  they tended to be long and rambling compared to his earlier
 BL> works. I'm a big  fan of his books, but mostly can't abide anything he
 BL> published after the late  sixties. 
 
 I tried REALLY hard on two separate occasions to read (and to like) 
 Dune, but failed miserably.  So if the later books are worse than the
 earlier, I am just not cut out to be a Heinlein fan.
 
 BL> Cat is a particularly sore spot. It
 BL> starts out like one of his good  older works, then halfway through
 BL> veers off into his Lazarus Long  inter-universal cocktail party, and
 BL> doesn't have an ending. 
 
 OK.  I am perfectly capable of reading half a book, and quitting it
 after it loses my interest.  Life is too short and too full of 
 petting the cat to suffer through uninteresting literature.
 
 The only thing I know about Lazarus Long is that the name appears
 in tagline lists, and I eventually linked it with Heinlein.

... I inherited my curiosity from my cat. Why do you ask?
