Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

I whole-heartedly encourage folks to read "Forever War" and also recreational reading isn't a survey class unless one thinks it'd be fun for it to be. OMW is in a genre conversation with Starship Troopers and Forever War and Armor and Ender's Game, absolutely. It can also be read by itself, for fun.
Ok, point taken. But, doesn't reading Joe Haldeman give a young reader a framework to understand a series like Old Man's War, or Ellison and Niven for points of view like theirs? Or, does that fit into the "last 30 years of the previous century" notion?

I keep the audiobooks in mind for all the stuff I write now, which is why, for example, the dialog tag "he/she said" is far less frequent in my work now than it was in my earlier work. Your brain can skip the tag when you read but the narrator has to say every single one, and they pile up.
Do you ever write with the audiobook in mind? Some books just don't work when read aloud.

Earlier today I was a passenger in a ~30 mph T-bone car crash (don't worry, I'm fine, I even made it to where I was going, eventually). The feeling of the car being thrown and spun around by what we think of as a low speed impact gives me new appreciation for the forces involved in a plane crash.

That is, a proper conservative (as opposed to a populist) should say "regardless of how I feel about trans people, the institution of the public bathroom works fine, and if we change it there'll likely be unforeseen negative consequences." But no.
