Robbert Heinlein Starship Troopers
I bought this book in Kabul last month and zipped through it on my R&R flight from Afghanistan back to the states. A great read and very different from the 1997 motion picture. Not as dynamic as Ender's Game, nor as imaginative as Eon; the book was however more interesting (...and perhaps a little frightening) from a socio political vantage. It deserves it's status as a classic.

I saw and loved the movie for what it was and for once am glad I saw the movie before reading the book. Had I read the book first I no doubt would have been bitching about the horridly inaccurate adaptation. As of yet I have not read any books by Robert Heinlein; a travesty, I know...
