> Heinlein

There were 3 Heinlein books on that list ... but not "I Will Fear No
Evil".  I have read everything by Heinlein and I would have
seriously considered rating it as his best book.   Definitely ahead
of "Starship Troopers" and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress".  Perhaps
the NPR decided "I Will Fear No Evil" is not really sci-fi?

I do wish NPR would not have mixed two entirely different genres
like SF and Fantasy together in one list - there are a lot of good
SF books on the list that are demeaned by being lumped together with
crap full of dragons and wizards.
