Robert A. Heinlen: Citizen of the Galaxy
 - This was originally published as a serial, and it felt unfinished.  I like how the author conveys normalcy bias in the latter parts of the novel.  Specifically, "the that's silly, that can't be true.." response to slavery and piracy.

I also had a read through Mr. Heinlen's Wikipedia page.  Interesting chap.  I would not have pegged him for a Democrat or a Socialist.  I need to sit down and matrix out the core beliefs of political parties, as my assumptions on those two are obviously wrong.

I'm going to look at a farm today.  With any luck, Plan F proceeds!

Cheers.
