Hey same here, and Heinlein was my favorite author for a very long time. That particular book just never really did it for me.

  Stranger in a Stranger Land was probably more of particular time and place that a lot of Heinlein's works. Although it came out at in 1961--mostly predating the counterculture era in the US, its mainstream cross-over appeal was definitely tied in with the Summer of Love etc. later in the decade.

    happens that it was banned in TX schools until 2003, so i guess some share of population just doesn't grok it :)

    1968 would indeed be about the right time period as "I grok Spock" bumper stickers appeared around then too.
