I recently read Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" and kept thinking that the character of Wednesday/Odin reminded me very much of dear Jubal Harshaw. Then in chapter twelve, when Shadow and Wednesday acquire the use of Harry Bluejay's car - "Harry Bluejay filled a black garbage bag with shit from the car (said shit including several screw-top bottles of cheap beer, unfinished, a small packet of canabis resin wrapped in silver foil and badly hidden in the car's ashtray, a skunktail, two dozen country and western cassettes and a battered and yellowing copy of 'Stranger in a Strange Land')." I took this as a nod from Neil. Coincidently, the next book I read was Stephen King's "Duma Key" where I found in chapter 5 - Wireman the passage - "Now we're water-brothers, " he said when it was gone. "Is that some Indian ritual?" I asked. "Nope, from 'Stranger in a Strange Land', by Robert Heinlein. Bless his memory." Has anyone else noticed any other such tributes? Of course I'm taking this as a prod that it's time to re-read Stranger again after many years.
