did anyone see the recent episode of south park where the police chief
couldn't read and finally he learned and they gave him atlas shrugged to read?
funny stuff
"reading sucks! i used to be excited about reading, until i read THIS
book...i read every damn word in [Atlas Shrugged] and it made me hate
reading forever. Reading sucks!"
haha

I don't mean to spark arguments on the list, but it seems to me that the
majority of the people on this list love to pick on Rand.
What's the big deal, huh? I personally liked Atlas Shrugged when I read it
in 10th grade, not that it made me turn into an objectivist, nor did any of
the other 3 Rand books I own and have read.
Is it just her philosophy, or do you really feel that she is a bad writer? I
think she writes pretty well considering English is a *secondary* language
for her. Actually, I think she writes better than a good deal of people who
have English as a primary language.
Thoughts anyone?
