I have books!

I'm in Boston this week, and so far I've been to countless bookstores looking for works by L Ron Hubbard; these include a 2 story Borders and a 3 Story Barnes and Noble. Both of which left me empty handed, however, on my way back from a fish and chips restaruant on the coast about 30 miles out of Boston, I stopped at a used book store. There I found a few of his works that I bought, although they aren't Battlefield Earth, they will do. I bought a Copy of Fear, which is acclaimed as one of the best Sci-fi Horror books ever written by a person, and I got my hands on a copy of "The Invaders Plan" the first book in the Dekology (10 books) of "Mission Earth". Although it's only the first book in a series of 10, it's around 500 pages long; I only have it because the guy gave it to me for free; I'll probably never end up reading it. However, I will definately read fear. From the quotes on the back of fear, which are from Stephan King, Ray Bradbury, and Isaac Asimov, they say that the book is epic. I read about 20 pages in and liked it because the way that he writes is a lot like how I do.

Also, I found a rare gem at the store. I found a DVD Special Edition of "Battlefield Earth, the Movie" and bought it for 3 bucks. When I took it to the register, the guy said "Umm.. uh, you know this is the worst movie ever made within the history of man, right?" and we both laughed.



I won't end up using this in my report, I just want to watch it for the kicks. But, I will read fear and Hopefully skim Invader's plan. I'll report back in when I have more books, I'm still looking for a copy of dianetics.

P.S. TYAAAAHHH!!
