Stranger in a Strange Land 539 reviews Robert A. Heinlein
Ace, 1987
Excelent Read...
+ Mindblowing, if you can grok it.
This book is absolutely amazing. Draws you in from the very first page, and after reading it, it leaves you with no questions, but a very insightful look into human nature.
Once you pick it up you will find it hard to put it down to do things like sleep or go to work.

The Cat Who Walks Through Walls 100 reviews Robert A. Heinlein
Ace, 1988
The Grand Masters create worlds where we may vacation for 15 minutes at a time
+ If you loved THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS.....
"The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" will not change the world the way "Stranger in a Strange Land" did. Nevertheless, you may find yourself reading it with a highlighter. There are dozens of one-liners suitable for sig lines. None are found in "The Notebooks of Lazarus Long" (1978) as this book ...

City of Golden Shadow (Otherland, Volume 1) 282 reviews Tad Williams
DAW, 1998
Dear gawd, I can't believe I finished it!
This was a very hard book for me to get through. The plot, while interesting, was dragged out to a bloated 800 pages, much of which was completely unnecessary to the story. Perhaps reading the remaining 3 portions of this novel will shed some light, but based on the reviews I've read here, I'm not ...
