He's Heinlein's Methuselah - Lazarus Will Never Die

One of Robert A Heinlein's most lovable characters is undoubtedly Lazarus Long. This man is a rugged individualist and an eccentric non-comformist. He has a unique perspective on the human condition, the character of individual people, and the human race in general. This lens will introduce you to my favorite fictional character, the books he appears in, and items of interest to the fans of Lazarus Long and Robert A. Heinelein.

    I've been turned off by that smug Lazarus Long, Is this the ideal end Heinlein always nursed for himself?

    I would, but I don't particularly like LL. I find him obnoxious, and convinced of his near-godhood. Plus, despite being much like many of Heinlein's female protagonists, I do *not* find LLong sexy, not in the least.
