I had to go to extraordinary lengths to get the peter kenny narration of excession. I already have a different version but it's crap quality and probably ripped off of a cassette. also loving simon and schuster for making the ebook for look to windward $16 or some poo poo

I liked it when i was 13 it had loving powered armor with micro nukes and jump jets ffs although i did find it odd that the first campaign was against "the skinnies" who were all slender dark-skinned humanoids that didn't seem to be a threat but they just bounced through their town in this badass power armor lobbing nuclear grenades into churches and poo poo maybe it was satire to begin with

i saw the movie first and knew nothing about heinlein, but had read all the Bill the Galactic Hero books, so i went into the book pre-disposed to believe it was satire it was probably the best way to enjoy it

I've never read anything by Heinlein, but certain people in this thread are addicted to righteous indignation. I wouldn't be shocked if they deliberately overlooked a satirical tone in any work.

there's a book called Armor by john steakley, which isn't exactly a good book but it was written in reaction to starship troopers not having enough gritty spaceman bug fighting so if that's the itch you want to scratch give it a read.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:a canticle for leibowitz seems like it would make an awful audiobook. it's quite long, it uses multiple narrators, and much of the text is the interior thoughts of these narrators. i do basically all my 'reading' by audiobook and ive never had a problem. the only time i had an issue was during the martian when the narrator pronounced ASCII as ASC2 over and over

The 'skinnies' were allied with the 'bugs' so humanity decided to brutally pwn a few towns to make them decide that allying with humanity is a smarter plan. IIRC. I don't think Heinlein is the bees knees but I think it's weird how it's a widely-held belief that he only wrote characters that spouted his political ideals or whatever. He definitely wrote way too much weird sex stuff though. And Stranger In A Strange Land is not good

I thought you said you'd read a heinlein like literally every book of his ive read has had an author self insert straight up telling the reader what he thinks his publishers tried to get him to tone it down so he said they were censoring him, then stranger got huge and they let him do whatever he wanted and then we got lazarus long

The monsters in the new episode of Doctor Who were creatures literally made of eye boogers. Also the villain wins and apparently destroys the human race.
