As for myself, I am reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman.
I was actually looking forward to read this. But I am not finding it to be that engrossing. It even made me lose the reading streak I had going since the start of the year. :-(
Does anyone know if the story picks up pace, and becomes interesting? I am in chapter 11 of the first volume.
I would say that it makes compelling arguments, but yes the language that is used to write is not that common, it uses the Thesis format, may be that is why it may be hard for some to follow. But yes, once you get hang of it, it is easier to read and refer the references for more context.
