(Original Review, 1980)THE ROLLING STONES happens to be a fascinating example of degeneration --- Grandma quit engineering because three less-competent men were promoted over her, Mother is a competent but very womanly doctor, and Daughter (what little we find out of her) is mostly hormones. I think...
Mała pożółkła i podniszczona książeczka, zgarnięta z gminnej biblioteki na zasadzie bookcrossingu. Patrzysz na cenę na okładce i wiesz, że swoje już przeszła, bo wynosi ona 20000 zł. Dlaczego ją wybrałem? Po pierwsze tytuł przykuł moją uwagę. "Władca marionetek" skojarzył mi się z ... utworem muzyc...
“Dr. Jubal Harshaw, professional clown, amateur subversive, and parasite by choice, had long attempted to eliminate 'hurry' and all related emotions from his pattern. Being aware that he had but a short time left to live and having neither Martian nor Kansan faith in his own immortality, it was his ...

If you read the description of the training it wasn't just 12 weeks square-bashing, it read...
"What is marriage for?" The car told her she was heading the wrong way; she reversed direction and came back past me toward its voice and pulsing beacon. "Babies, obviously." I followed her. "Bingo. Marriage is for making jolly babies, raising them up into successful predators, and then admiring the...
This was my first time reading anything by Heinlein. I really enjoyed the first half, and I was pleasantly surprised by how readable and entertaining it was, but I disliked the second half quite a bit. The main premise is that there is life on Mars, and humanity has only just begun to travel ther...
This story is a sci-fi epic retelling of the American Revolution, only this time the people of the moon are rebelling against Earth and the Lunar Authority led by a sentient computer and a ragtime group of ice miner and farmers.Heinlein gives the reader some interesting ideological viewpoints about ...
