Which Heinlein Book Should You Have Been A Character In?

This is kind of cool, because it so happens I just bought this book today, same cover pic and anything - now I'm psyched to read it.:)

Great book, but...

definitely read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Time Enough for Love, and The Number of the Beast first.

The only one of those I haven't read is "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." If I have read the other two, do you still think it's essential? Because my 'must read' pile is at least 8 volumes deep at the moment, it's threatening to take over my bedside table. I keep finding one more thing I REALLY have to add to it.

Well, some of the more significant characters in "Cat" do come from "Moon". This is basically the first novel where Heinlein uses the device invented in "Beast" to start drawing his story lines together. The first time I read "Cat" I had already read "Time" and "Moon", but not "Beast". It made a lot more sense to me when I later ready the whole series in order.
