Gah,

Starship Troopers, the movie, was an awful adaptation. It covered about 3 pages of the book and didn't include the awesome mechanized infantry armor.

His books are great. I'd suggest reading about 4 or 5. I like

Stranger in a Strange Land
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Starship Troopers
Time Enough for Love

After more than that, you start to feel like he's repeating himself. Also he has a tendency to soapbox. It gets distracting after a while.

Still, quality science fiction. He has very interesting views on alternate sociologies.
