Well, the first couple were free; I worked at a Software Etc. that was inside a B. Dalton's, and they were in the stripped-covers box that was going around (illegally of course). I don't remember whether I had tried to read Battlefield Earth before or after this, but I never got past the first 200 or so pages into that, big yawn. Mission Earth, though, was a lot funnier, (mostly) intentionally so—it was meant to be satire—but there was also something about the space opera combined with Earth-as-an-alien-world that appealed to me. After about 5 or 6 I was probably reading it more just to see how it ended, but, that's how these things go.
