Reading

Books: on balance, I'm for them. These are most of the ones I've read since 2007 or so. The star ratings correspond more closely to "how worth my time this felt" than "how good this is."

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Robert A. Heinlein


This novel is deeply racist, gleefully misogynist, and unpleasantly cynical. It's smug, didactic, and thinly plotted. There are a couple of neat concepts buried in here. But my oh my, there's a lot to put up with in exchange. Bleh!
