I decided recently (as I’m finally getting serious about my fiction writing) to read more books by critically acclaimed authors. So, I picked up Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein. Oh, my goodness, I had no idea what I had been missing out on (I still haven’t watched the movie). The copy I read had 279 pages. In those 279 pages he was able to articulate theory about warfare and the responsibility of citizens better than any novel I had ever read. I don’t agree with all of his ideas, but they were more thought provoking than the lame civics classes I took. (Not that civics is lame, just that most teachers can’t teach it worth a damn.)
