I have to admit..... I LIKED the Starship Troopers movie. BUT!! It was for completely different reasons! I thought the Nazi theme was clever. And.... And... the bugs were cool, too. OK, I saw the movie first, that's pretty much why I still like it. The book is phenomenal, though. I tried to make my roomate read it at DLI, but I just ended up reading most of the important parts aloud instead. In return, as she was so horrified that I'd never read it, she went out and bought a brand new copy of 1984 for me.
Never could get past the second book of Lord of the Rings, although I've read The Hobbit more times than is healthy. I'll never admit this to my dad, but I couldn't get into Dune either. WTF, Ringworld makes it on here, but not The Mote in God's Eye,??? World's goin to hell n a handbasket, I tell ya.
