The Notebooks of Lazarus Long
I read a much earlier edition of this - repeatedly. :-) It is one of my favorite books ever. Lazarus Long is hilarious; and while being gut-busting at times, Notebooks is full of wisdom too.
The older I get, the weirder I think I think it is that Heinlein wrote so much incest into his later books
Quotable writing from Heinlein. This short book is full of some "deep" thoughts from one of the masters of science fiction. I enjoyed re-reading this book. It went quickly. Agreed with most of what is in it, too. Not all, but most.
I loved this! Some of the things said are funny, or simple, or insightful, or anything else! Heinlein has been one of those authors I hear frequently about from my father and I am so glad he has lent me this illustrated copy (illustrations by D.F.Vassallo). I shall go and buy my own copy to keep and flick through when I need.Beautifully illustrated and a wonderful collection of thoughts from the character of Lazarus Long.

This is the collection of the interstitial quotes from Time Enough for Love, nicely illuminated. It's nice to see calligraphy is not a lost art. It's a good resource to have for Lazarus Long quotes.

Commentary As Books The Notebooks of Lazarus Long
Too young to fight in the First World War, but destined to lead the first successful expedition to another star system, the (literally) immortal Lazarus Long is the most popular and enduring character created by Robert A. Heinlein, author of numerous New York Times best sellers. He starred in Heinlein's most popular novels, including Methuselah's Children, Time Enough For Love, The Number Of The Beast, To Sail Beyond The Sunset and others. The oldest living member of the human race due to his unique genes, Long has been a pioneer on eight planets, survived wars and lynch mobs, and explored most of the galaxy. His adventures have given him a breadth of experience distilled through the irony of an immortal viewpoint. But there is nothing pompous about Long's reflections on the human condition. As the noted editor and critic David G. Hartwell has observed, "Lazarus' comments are acute, lively and intelligent." And here they are, compiled in one beautifully designed trade paperback, filled with illuminations and illustrations by renowned Science Fiction artist Stephen Hickman, for the delight of the millions of Heinlein fans around the world.Declare Regarding Books The Notebooks of Lazarus Long
