[UUPoly-L] Stranger In A Strange Land

[Ned Sudborough <sudborough@cybermesa.com>]

A few months back, enough discussion of "Stranger"  brought me to  
read the book.
As I was once told, it was "a founding document" for polys.   
Considered separately
from that importance, I found the book  longer than necessary,  
tedious to read,  stylistically
coarse,  with frequently mentioned characters uncharacterized and  
with several chapters
 interpolated as humor that undermine the seriousness with which
we might consider the book's separate ideas and his whole thesis as  
well.
Encouraging people to read the book calls for some warnings, also.
