Yes I did, and I disagreed vehemently with their portrayed morality in terms of social support and cooperation (or even the viability of such a society).

I'm all for Machiavelli's pragmatic approach in "The Prince" (oops, another one I forgot to include), but Heinlein is just downright scary in some of his more forceful works (I mean, the salt hoarding in Farnham's Freehold? COME ON! Even I felt like killing the guy on principle)

I also disliked Atlas Shrugged.
