Currently reading "Time for the Stars," and pleased at the focus on
human relations and the journey the main character undertakes, rather
than the story focusing on the "Ain't it cool" aspect of space travel.
I wish more sci fi books were like that... it's making me want to read
more of his (the only other one I've read is "Stranger in a Strange
Land," which I also loved).

Read them all, both the adult stuff and the "kid" stuff. It's all good.

Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
I get "focus follows gaze"?

I bet myself $5 that you would be the first to respond, and I won :)

When you get to Time Enough for Love, let me know. I love hearing how
people react to that and Number of the Beast.

How do you pay yourself 5 dollars?
Could you bet more than you own? After all, you are not actually going to
lose any of it.

But find Methusaleh's Children first. It's a short story, but it helps keep
those novels straight. And after Number of the Beast, do The Cat Who Walks
Through Walls then To Sail Beyond The Sunset.
I mean, read everything you can by Heinlein. Then, read 'em again. :-) I
love his stuff. I have an amazing amount of respect for his ability to tell
a story, and for his personal, Can-Do kind of attitude. I dearly wish he
were still around to tell more stories.

If you lose, you burn the money you bet?

I think that in many countries that would be technically illegal.

If I lose, I have to buy myself a drink. If I win, I get a round
courtesy of myself. Seems perfectly obvious to me :)
