Goodreads asked Randall Sharpe:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Randall Sharpe I've been trying to cram in as much retro sci-fi as I can in preparation for a monolithic space opera. Currently, I'm planning to hit L. Ron Hubbard's "Mission: Earth" series, Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," the "Rendezvous with Rama" series, and also a whole slew of UFOlogy and new age books to get ideas for how a galaxy running on technology devised by self-proclaimed alien abductees and operating on a "universal creed of unconditional love" could even function.
