Episode description
Today on Read This F**king Book, we read The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. This SciFi classic about an interstellar conflict inspired by the Vietnam War spurred a lot of conversation between Rachel and Elena. From gender roles in societies of the future to the technology of war and the strange anachronisms of reading a book older than they were. Take a listen and join in the discussion with us on Twitter or our Goodreads!
PS - There is an amazing graphic novel adaptation of The Forever War from Titan Comics that you should absolutely check out.
