Wednesday Night Book Club: Stranger in a Strange Land 1961/Robert A. Heinlein

Welcome to another Wednesday Night Book Club, this week I discuss the book "Stranger in a Strange Land" 1961 by Robert A. Heinlein (recommended by Austin from acclaimed "Fried Rice Podcast" fame...)Our resident old man, Mike, told me he read this in high school as a required reading.... So, basically, Austin chose homework for me, thanks Austin...Luckily, this is actually quite an interesting book with a lot of complex themes, most of which I probably didn't understand or ignored to focus on all the fun Jubel Herschaw shenanigans. Plus, I was high 90% of the time I was listening to this audiobook, so I might not have even a 1970's high schooler's grasp on what I was supposed to get from the book other than enjoyment. Next week's book(s): "The Chocolate War" 1974 by Robert Cormier, AAAAAANND the underrated sequel "Beyond the Chocolate War" 1985 by Robert Cormier ---------- High School secret societies, kids going door to door selling chocolate and a freaking guillotine, what could go wrong? One of my all-time favorites! (Plus it's routinely on the banned books list for the American Library Association's list of the Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books)We are on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5MHpzbpH9H0jXRCJI34KlC?si=a95fe723c01c4b6cCheck out our website: www.friedricepodcast.comCall our VOICEMAIL: (702) 829-0117 and give me a recommendation for a book to read!(don't worry, Andy isn't sitting in his room, waiting by his phone like it's the 90s, just fiddling with the long chord, reading "The BFG"...)
