Just out of curriocity, how many of you have actually read Starship Troopers?



I've read it and re-read it many times.  Have always loved it.  The movie didn't particularly thrill me, from the standpoint of the book, but seen as a standalone it was OK.

I read it for the first time last year.  Turns out you get extra credit in the Military History class if you read it.  I think I'm going to reread it this year (when I'm actually in that class).

"Military History Class"??  Wow.  Where you going to school, anyway?  I didn't know they taught that in high school -- anywhere!  Or is it connected to Junior ROTC?

Nah, it's not connected to Junior ROTC or anything like that, it's just an elective offered to juniors and seniors.  I cannot wait to take that class though, my favorite teacher is the only one who teaches it, he's VERY pro-military and patriotic.

I go to Maumee High School in, where else, Maumee.  For those of you not familiar with dinky little midwestern towns, that's in Ohio.  Man, I wish I wasn't familiar with dinky little midwestern towns...
