Hugh Hewitt: Now we’re wrapping up, Governor. If someone has asked me my favorite novel, I would have said Lord of the Rings, and Eisenhower was a Zane Grey westerns addict. But I’ve got to tell you, science fiction?

Governor Mitt Romney: (laughing) Well, you know, that’s really not my favorite novel. Probably my favorite is Huckleberry Finn and I’ve read all of Louis L’Amour’s books, I think. I may have missed one of two, but all of his westerns. You know, I have a guilty pleasure in some science fiction. A couple of my other favorite science fiction, Ann McCaffrey’s Dragon Flight, and Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game. There’s some great science fiction out there.

Hugh Hewitt: I hope your favorite movie isn’t 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Governor Mitt Romney: (laughing) I’ll stay away from that.

Hugh Hewitt: And have you ever been to a Star Trek convention, Governor?

Governor Mitt Romney: No, I’ve stayed away from that, too. I must admit, but I do enjoy Star Trek.
