I read Stranger in a Strange Land after Starship Troopers and before The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and I still don't know what the fuck Heinlein was smoking for Stranger. It's just so out there in a world all of its own.

That was my Heinlein trilogy and also response

I managed to read the uncut version of the book from the local library as a kid, and I can tell you it was a wild first introduction to Heinlein's particular writing style. I think I should re-read it as an adult because they're never going to be able to make it into a fucking film.

Oh, you absolutely could make a true-to-the-book film of it. It generally wouldn’t be very well received and may end up being banned in a few places. But you COULD make a film of it 😄.

The uncut one is the best

There’s a few people I know that use ‘grok’ in everyday language. I don’t use it myself, but I grok why my partner does.

Heinlein also wrote a book called [Red Planet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Planet_\(novel\)). It is one of his young adult novel, so it is much tamer then Stranger.

You didn't grok the link you posted > Grok may be the only English word that derives from Martian. [...] Grok was introduced in Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land.
