Don't recall reading it, but I really should get back into his stuff. I was never disappointed and in the case of "Stranger" was profoundly affected, even influenced to a point.Other than me? I'm sure there must be others. How are you with "Time Enough for Love?"Grocked? THAT goes back far beyond Farscape Grock goes back to Heinland's 1961 Philosophy/Sci Fi "Stranger in a Strange Land"I am so frelling gratified that you GROKked the reference!
Who else, without Google, knows Michael Valentine Smith?
I still wonder how the movie Starship Troopers is related to his book. I guess as long as there is mention of alien 'bugs' in the book it counts as an adaptation?
Yuck. That movie was disgusting.

Disgustingly stupid.
I can enjoy good campy humor (I'm a fan of the Evil Dead series as well as the old Flash Gordon movie) but I found Starship Troopers to just be dumb. The only good thing about it was making fun of it with a friend of mine when we saw it in the theater.
5 degrees right now. oh well, the cold weather had to come at some point. but this was the first day I had to break out the winter coat
Michener's descriptions are on par with Hemingway. Both authors put tremendous detail in their descriptions. Michener's "Hawaii" begins with a prologue featuring the birth of the islands, for example.Heinlein has been a great influence in my life. James Michener was another pivotal author who helped shape my life. And dare I say, Ayn Rand has also had great influence in the formation of my personal philosophy.Don't recall reading it, but I really should get back into his stuff.

I really can't attribute who and what I am to any specific author with the possible exception of Catherine Marshall who often struck a very responsive chord with me in both her fiction and non fiction works. I love Michener and have all his books but I guess the philosopher side of him didn't stand out for me so much--just his uncanny ability to tell a story like no other. I have enjoyed reading Heinlein. and I think it was the writers of the 1950's, 70's, and 80's that I have most enjoyed and best recall.
LMAO - The best commercial ever
I beg to differ, my all-time favorite commercial is this one:
Doritos Goat Ad: 2013 Super Bowl Commercial Features Funny ...
Then there's this one:
Congratulations and Good Luck!Oh, I forgot to tell that I'm picking up a new shift at the hospital and going down to part time at my job. Otherwise I will be working like 70 hours a week! No thanks. Lol. A permanent shift has opened up for me at the hospital, and that is good. Not sure yet when I will start, but it could be this weekend. It will be Saturday and Sunday nights from 4 PM to 12 AM. Not the most desirable hours, but I want to make a good impression there and be noticed.

It's part time still but better than per diem!
But they still managed to make what, three or four sequels?Don't recall reading it, but I really should get back into his stuff.

Yeah, it was pretty stupid too but mostly just gross.

Better y'all than us, I guess. The last few days were up over 40 degrees at times, and stayed above freezing until last night. Of course, everything melted just enough to freeze into skating rink conditions.5 degrees right now. oh well, the cold weather had to come at some point. but this was the first day I had to break out the winter coat
I looked it up, there were four movies total, and surprise! surprise! a TV series, as well.But they still managed to make what, three or four sequels?I still wonder how the movie Starship Troopers is related to his book.

Starship Troopers? I don't think so. I never heard of any sequels to that movie, but I could be wrong.

It was a terrible and disgusting movie. That was my point.
Regret to confess, I've seen all the movies. Sometimes you have to go with the flow when others make up the entertainment schedule. I did not know about the TV series but since I watch very little regular TV programing, that's not a surprise. You're right, though, the movies were more about a significant gross-out factor than the books ever could have been.I looked it up, there were four movies total, and surprise! surprise! a TV series, as well.But they still managed to make what, three or four sequels?Disgustingly stupid.

Never heard of any sequels or a TV show. It was a pretty crappy movie. Did you ever see it?
I worked 4 to mids and midnight shifts most of my life. My favorite was always 4 to mid.Oh, I forgot to tell that I'm picking up a new shift at the hospital and going down to part time at my job.
