I'm reading Heinlein's book The Number of The Beast right now. While it's not my favorite of his books, it's one I like, and every time I've read it, I've intended to make a list of the worlds the characters visit.
Really, the book forms a who's who of classic science fiction novels. A lot of them I don't recognize at all. If you recognize one of these worlds that's not identified, or otherwise have more information to add to the list, please leave a comment to identify it.
The books include:
Worlds the characters visited:
The Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars series
Baum's Oz books
Who the heck wrote that world with the orthinopters (part two of The Number Of The Beast)? Is it a Heinlein creation?
Gulliver's Travels
The inside out universe?
Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carrol
The Lensmen (No book or series title) by E.E. Smith
Heinlein's Future History Series
