Whatever you do, stay away from Ayn Rand. It will rot your brain. There used to be a site called Gutenberg Press that had a lot of free books. Not sure if still there. I think that is where I discovered The Song Of Hiawatha wasn’t just the “by the shores of gitcheegoome” poem. If you can find it, The True Believer, by Eric Hoffer(?) is to die for.

parsy, who is way behind on his reading

LOL - Ayn Rand writes about not becoming what Hoffer calls a True Believer!
