TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE is the story of Lazarus Long, the 'Senior' of the Howard Families, about whom Heinlein has written almost as long as science fiction has been interesting.
I envy anyone who hasn't read TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE, because you can start to do so now, and I've already finished!
Classic Heinlein--not a juvenile book.

The capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein's famous Future History, TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE, follows Lazarus Long through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Heinlein's longest and most ambitious work. It is the story of a man so in love with Life that he refused to stop living it; and so in love with Time that he bacame his own ancestor.
This is a lengthy, well-constructed work of genious. In Heinlein fashion, the author does not use fictional license to just "make things happen", but reasons things out and explains so as to make them actually plausible . . . at least as best as an author can do with issues such as time travel, tele-transportation, etc.
A great effort by Heinlein, "Time Enough For Love" is a great story that a lot of people could enjoy, not just Science-Fiction fans.
