Don't laugh about needing a trebuchet with Robert Jordan. I was finishing up my junior year in high school when Battlefield Earth came out, and so many of my classmates told me that I had to read it that I gave them a chance. About one chapter in, I followed the esteemed Ms. Parker's advice, and I suspect that this was the first of many incidents that led to my getting rotator cuff surgery in 1994. I now have a scar on my right shoulder that looks as if someone tried to cut off my arm with a machete, and I blame Hubbard for it. (If the scar had cut through my Anomalocaris tattoo, I would have dug up Hubbard's body and used it as a coat rack.)
