I Wish I Was: Dec 11, 2006; I saw this at the bookshop and thought of you.

Battlefield Earth is the only book I've never finished. I finish books; it's just what I do. I guess I'm an eternal optimist, hoping that even if it's crappy right now it will get better, and I'm a sucker for needing to know the ending of a story. I don't walk out of movies, either.

But goddamn, I tried Battlefield Earth when I was 12 or so, and couldn't get through it. Picked it up again when I was 19 or so, figuring that maybe I just wasn't mature enough when I tried the first time. Nope; still couldn't get through it. Then again when I was in my late 20s, figuring it couldn't have possibly been as bad as I remembered. Third strike, it's out.
