Not sure I'd want to be compared to Heinlein anyway. While his earlier stuff was great, the later solopsist stories (Stranger in a Strange Land, Time Enough for Love, The Number of the Beast, among others) showed a rapidly-escalating level of insanity. I had hoped he would eventually recover but, by that point, felt I could no longer "enable" his insanity by buying his books. :-(

There are many authors whose product was uniformly as good as Heinlein's best anyway, so why would you ever want to be compared with him? From that era, give me instead any story by James Blish, James P. Hogan, or Andre Norton (among many others).
