The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. The speech patterns the characters used almost made me DNF. I pushed through to the 2/3rds point before it really started to hook me. It now stands in my top 10 of all time books

@Coherence @CurlyWurlies4All I remember dropping stranger in a strange land because of how the journalist spoke. If it was really worth making it through, maybe it's time I give Heinlein another shot. It's been like 10 years since I tried and maybe I have the patience for it now.
