    @Coherence @CurlyWurlies4All I remember dropping stranger in a strange land because of how the journalist spoke. If it was really worth making it through, maybe it’s time I give Heinlein another shot. It’s been like 10 years since I tried and maybe I have the patience for it now.

      I didn’t care much for Stranger in a Strange Land. Not to spoil too much but felt it had a heavy handed messiah bent to it, just not my cup of tea. I did finish reading it, as it seemed a creation of it’s time and I like to experience time capsules through books. Almost prescient of later history of the decade.
