GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a member of the Mormon Church which believes a man named Joseph Smith found a NEW testament of Jesus Christ written on gold tablets and buried in Manchester, NY depicting events that took place in the United States hundreds of years ago despite no archaeological evidence ever being found to corroborate any of these stories, recently stated that his favorite book is "Battlefield Earth", written by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology...

He then corrected himself, when pressed, and noted that "Battlefield Earth" is simply his favorite "novel".

His favorite non-fiction book is actually Cinderella.
