I read
Battlefield Earth on a recommendation from a friend. By the time I wanted to stop, I was too far into it to stop. So I finished it. It was one god awful book. And when I heard it was coming out as a movie, I was wondering what stupid idiot authorized that and was expecting said idiot to be fired not long after the movie tanked big time.
