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

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 :)

And win, lose, or draw, you get to explain how it works to everyone. ;-)
