This was a random gifting from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
whotheheckami , and I loved it. It suffered a bit from being The First Book I Read after a long reading break, but it actually didn't suffer that much to be honest. And I could certainly handle a re-read in the near future. It suffers a little from being a bit dated and sexist here and there, but there's plenty in the journey of the Man From Mars through his experience on earth that's actually amusing and topical, and I think in some ways it's probably a bit of a timeless classic. And I finally have gone to the source for my use of the word "grok". It could be said that I now truly grok "grok".
Good book, will read again. Happy to give it a home on the SF classics shelf <3
