Totally awesome, so far!

Finished this book last week, but they still haven't added the edition I'm reading (1st edition!). Does anyone know of a site like Goodreads that still lets you add the book you're reading?

"Society should be shaped to fit people the way they are. It's trying to do it the other way that causes the problems." -- Outward Bound by James P. Hogan

So far a page-turner, and one great quotation:
"What I'd like to see is a general recognition of the realities of the situation, an ability to deal with what 𝘪𝘴, instead of what somebody hopes, or wishes, or fears, or imagines -- some arbitrary guess they've staked a career on, or some article of ideology. Is that too much to ask?" The Glory Game by Keith Laumer, p. 142, Popular Library, 1973.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? This is the second novel in which I've encountered that Latin phrase. The first was Space Cadet by Robert A. Heinlein (1948).

Two whole pages missing!!! !!!! !!!!!

Loving it.

"...there were lots of boys like me--radio hams, they were, and telescope builders, and airplane amateurs. We had science clubs, and basement laboratories, and science-fiction leagues--the kind of boys who thought there was more romance in one issue of the Electrical Experimenter than in all the books Dumas ever wrote. We didn't want to be one of Horatio Alger's Get-Rich heroes either, we wanted to build space ships"
