Stranger in a Strange Land

February 12, 2010

One of my favorite books of all times is Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. He was a genius and often is referred to as the father of science fiction. He and Isaac Asimov put so much more than sci-fi into their books and both were amazingly prolific writers. You can argue that [...]
