He was a huge influence on me. I finally quit reading him with an eyes roll, and I find that when I reread certain classics -- even Dune, which had no dearth of "strong female charecters" I get to that point quickly. (expecially my beloved "Foundation" series--I read that over and over when I was younger. Reading recently had some cringeworthy moments) I haven't read "Stranger in a Strange Land" in years, it's the one I'm planning to start with.
