Stranger in a Strange Land — 4 years ago

I borrowed this book from the library with great anticipation and am very disappointed. The only edition I could find was the expanded version:( I’ve read 250 pages of it and am finding it dated and boring. In my humble opinion it’s not a classic in the “timeless” sense.
