Welcome to Litsy!

This was fine. It's short stories. Which I'm not used to from this author. And scifi from the 1950s doesn't really hold up all that well. I listened to the #audiobook.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

More of the same Heinlein, just in smaller chunks. For the full review, please visit http://benjamin-m-weilert.com/index.php/2019/11/06/book-assignment-in-eternity-1...

There was a point where the two male characters were worried about how it would reflect on her to bring a female with them on a road trip. She replies that there is no helping the reputation of a woman that lives by herself - *everyone* of all genders thinks she must be doing wrong.

It is incredibly frustrating that this hasn't changed much.

Collection of several shorter works. It's your basic Heinlein, examining what it is to be human, to be superhuman, and to take care of humanity in a time of looming darkness.

So, your basic Heinlein. Some of the portrayal of gender can be frustrating, but he was still pretty progressive given the time he lived in. And some things just haven't changed (more to follow).
