Is there anyone who isn't a raging Bircher conservative that loves Atlas Shrugged?
I don't know, I've never read it. But it seems that it is only a reinforcing dogma for those inclined already to believe in it. |

My favorite book of all time is still Tarzan. No finer piece of escape literature has ever been written. I also really like the Picture of Dorian Gray. I'm also a fan of Great Expectations. Bram Stoker's Dracula is another favorite. Anything by Ray Bradbury is quality. |

Truth be told I read another book by Rand and start Atlas Shrugged but only got about 1/3 through it and I just sort of petered out on it. A lot of people like it but it just didn't do ti for me.

If any of you were around long enough to remember my dating story on the board about the date that ended up in a tree in the middle of downtown LA at midnight wearing a suit, that guy was a HUGE fan of Atlas Shrugged, he was so weird that I have never had any desire to read anything by Rand since.

I am certainly not a bircher and I love Atlas Shrugged

One of the most frustrating experiences of my life was slogging my way through The Sound and The Fury. Faulkner blows - at least for dumb guys like me.
I love The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment. Dostoevsky is fantastic. Some of my other favorites are Huckleberry Finn, The Grapes of Wrath, and Brave New World. |
