I hate Heinlein so much that I hate myself when I occasionally am trapped in the grip of his once-formidable storytelling ability. Heinlein is a classic example of great talent foundering under the weight of totally corrupt and indefensible ideology. The Richard Wagner of SF. So how can someone with the sense to hate Heinlein also put down Gene Wolfe?!?! If anyone is reading this and doesn't know about Gene Wolfe they should run, not walk, to the nearest bookstore and pick up The Fifth Head of Cerberus, Gene Wolfe's Book of Days, and The Devil In a Forest.
