Book

I was recommended this book A Stranger in the Strange Land about a month ago. I realized it is a sci-fi book which is certainly something new to my very limited literary collection. I have my doubts. I was afraid that it would be too matter-of-fact, too many machines, guns and scientific facts and lack the complexity of humanity. Upon reading a few pages...after a few more pages, I realized that the book is indeed what I thought it would be like. But I could not stop reading. In fact on numerous occasions I had to tell myself to stop reading so that I would not be pissed at my not getting enough sleep at night and being sleepy over my work desk. The book actually speaks my language. I feel like the messages conveyed in the book are straight forward that I can actually visualize what's going on in my head. I feel like for the first time, what i read and what's in my head are actually on the same page. We are finally on the same wave-lengths and channel. So unless the characters turned Dakota Fanning or Jackie Chan on me or that the movie version (not played by the aforementioned characters or alike) is coming out next month, it is certainly a book that I will enjoy reading till the end.
