20. Time for the Stars - Robert A. Heinlein [23 : 831/1534]
One of the many Heinlein books I've got waiting for me... The story of identical twins who can communicate telepathically over any distance. One stays on Earth, while the other joins the crew of a near light speed ship to seek out new planets to colonize. It was an ok read, not great, but not bad. Parts of it really showed it's age (written in the 1950s).

I like that one a lot.

I remember that one from long ago.

It's the twin's angle isn't it? ;)

It's got a good premise and he explores it nicely, but some of the side stuff bugged me.

Oh, I liked it well before the twins. I think I tore though most of the Heinlein Juveniles in late high school.

I know I read a bunch of them around middle school, but I wasn't keeping track back then. So far I haven't recognized any as being re-reads, but I've still got quite a few to go.
