Reading pic related currently and I fucking hate it. It's beyond me why Heinlein is so popular and why this book in particular became so famous.

I was expecting something deeply philosophical, but Heinlein just uses lots and lots of words to express very simple and obvious ideas. Jubal is a bully and a fuckwit and for some reason Heinlein delights in sending forth a parade of idiot bureaucrats for Jubal to be rude to while the plot stalls.

Right now I'm stuck at the part where they meet in person with Secretary General Douglas. I really hate putting books away without finishing them, but I don't know if I can get through this.

Does it get better at all?
