I must have been in the retard ward. We didn't have a thing. The only movie we were allowed to watch was Eat, Pray, Love. And a collection of Michael Jackson music videos that this kid through a shrieking fit about if they took it off. I did read The Honorable Schoolboy in a different one.

That's the only one I've seen a movie in. The other ones just had mandatory church services every day. Catholics shouldn't be allowed near hospitals. They do have better books though.

I read a science fiction novel years ago by a black supremacist. It ends with all the white people being wiped out by a man-made virus and a twelve year old super-genius contacting god using a home-built transmitter and receiver. Wish I could remember the title or author as there was much else which was frankly quite embarrassing in those pages I wish I could get a hold of and share for a laugh here. Ended up tossing the book in a garbage bin.

Snow Crash
Tried to give SciFi a chance instead of being stuffy about it. I asked /sffg/ to recommend me a great intro to the genre and this is what they put me on. All my assumptions about SciFi were correct in that it's utter garbage for geeky morons to feel superior to other geeky morons who only watch TV or movies. It has no value and honestly should be banned from /lit/ and moved to /co/. It's complete crap.
