Stranger in a Strange Land
by Robert A. Heinlein
I’m a big fan of Robert Heinlein, science fiction. [All of his work]. I come back to those over and over again, the theme of self reliance. I came from a really, really humble, modest family background. And so I think that instills a hunger and a work ethic. It’s kind of embarrassing, actually. It’s a little bit of a Charles Dickens theme there. It’s a frustration thing. Things weren’t where we wanted them to be or where I wanted them to be. And then, how big a price, how hard are you willing to work in order to change it?

One I’m enjoying right now, and I’m just getting into it, is The Obstacle is the Way.
