Stranger in a Strange Land.
It relies on a scifi premis for the first chapter then takes place on earth. It's a fun look at human culture from an outsider's perspective.
I tried it and was just so off put by the 1950s sexism.
It's like the worst Heinlein novel idk why it got so popular, probably because of the free love stuff.
I know right! It's kind of unpalatable.
