I just finished my second reread of Starship Troopers. I've read it in three very different parts of my life and every time I read it, I come away with something new.
I'm currently reading Salt: A World History and listening to The Final Empire.
Where are you at now with it?
I first read it as a teen and was fully "yeah, this is the way", he was my favourite author at one time, terrifying looking back. As I read it more and more, and became more and more lefty, the shine has come off. Now I just see it as a fully open live letter to Authoritarianism.
Nowadays when I read Heinlein I just see the... There was a video by Overly Sarcastic Productions where Red (the host) did a "Deep thoughts with Robert A Heinlein" where some of his nonsense is laid bare... I just see those now, I can't read them.
