I'm reading stranger in a strange land right now. I find it pretty standard fare in terms of the whole "abandoned alien learns about human culture" thing goes. But I'm not too far in, the alien has some pretty cool powers so far Just make things disappear if it wanted them to! and I like Harshaw's character.
Also the cover claims it's supposed to be one of the best science fiction novels ever written so I suppose it was one of the first of its kind regarding the whole alien getting into human culture thing.
