Seriously, I only read the first two books and don't recall any of what happens in either of them except for, I dunno, vague ideas. The impression I get is that, conceptually these books cover what would be the first two chapters of a regular book.

I'm easily discouraged by big, fat books. I was trying to read Infinite Jest a couple weeks ago and just wasn't enjoying it, so I stopped. I read It and Battlefield Earth when I was younger and stopped reading both about halfway through for about a month before completing them.

I mostly got annoyed that I had read two books and it didn't feel like the story proper had started yet. I had the third book all those years ago, but never cracked it open. I guess I was just done.

I heard that Battlefield Earth was the worst movie John Travolta has made. I've never read the book, though.

Dragonflight, by Anne McCaffrey.

Any catalog that contains the Devil's Rain makes for a lively debate as-to which is the worst movie they ever made.



But, yeah. The movie is pretty bad. Interestingly, it stops about halfway through the book. They were hoping to make a sequel to finish the story, but it was terrible, so, no one wanted to pay for more of it.

Halfway through the first collection book, of three. I wouldn't go as far qs to agree wirh it being my favorite set of media. But it is pretty darn good, i gotta say.
