Just finished “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress”. A little long and rambling in places, but enjoyable and full of interesting ideas. Would make a good series/mini series. Has tinges of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy at times.
There’s a good audiobook version available narrated by Lloyd James/Sean Pratt.
I read this book decades ago when I was a teenager, and it had a huge impact (no pun intended) on me. It’s one of the first novels I can remember that made me sob when it was over. I need to read it again.
This led me to Stranger in a Strange Land which was just wild and gave me a view into relationships that I wasn’t expecting.
I haven’t read The Moon is a harsh Mistress yet, but Stranger in a strange Land is amazing.
