Oh yes - Battlefield Earth! I'm warming my hands on it already...
I wouldn't burn Anthony's Xanth books. I read them when I was 12-13 and although I despised them (and he had the gall to suggest they were like the Chronicles of Prydain!) they had some saving graces. I liked the idea of how creatures made up of more than one animal were created. I liked the idea of successive waves of invasion/ magic. A couple of others which I can't remember.

Battlefield Earth had no saving grace. Unless you could the size - it worked as a book end on my shelf for a while. But I don't count it, personally.
