I read this book (and the entire Wess'har series) back in late middle/early high school, and it had an enormous impact on me. I've never re-read it, so I figured it's time.

I'm about halfway through and it's frankly astonishing how deeply the perspectives of book are reflected in my life, both directly and indirectly.

I'm really curious how I feel about the series's overall theses when I get to them in earnest; I was nowhere near intellectually active the last time I read it.
