Fiction or Non-Fiction, academic or casual, theory or non-theory, feel free to mention books of any genre and on any topic.
I just finished Heinlein's "Have Spacesuit will travel". I really liked it when I was a kid. It's mostly a kind of cute proto-YA sci-fi read. It's fun to see the "hard" bits in sci-fi โ like using a slide rule, or calculating how many light-years back to Earth.
It's way more reactionary than I remembered, with some laughably vapid libertarian politics, and a kind of shocking reference to Hitler in a list of "people writing books in prison". I won't keep the book.
