A read this book awhile back and now its bugging the crap out of me to try to remember its name. Basicly the story was that earth sends a team to check out this ship that has been spoted around saturns orbit. While doing so the ship gets taken into the ship that looks like a floating disk. While inside the ships crew discover strange creatures and relize that each person now has different knowledge on how to communicate with each of them. The book had some strong sexual themes to it, and I believe it had a name like titan but I'm not really sure

"Grokking" comes from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, which is about the first human born on Mars, and takes place entirely on Earth.
Right you are, Jessica. Now I'll have to reread "Sirens of Titan" , because I can't remember the plot! Just pieces, like the "fair witnesses", or was that Hienlen? I'm too confused to help others!
fair witnesses is heinlein, too, I'm pretty sure ;)
Yep. One of Jubal's secretaries was a fair witness. The blonde, as I recall. Love Stranger in a Strange Land! Never heard of Sirens of Titan, but I might give it a shot!
