The similarities between what Rand predicted in the 50s and what has happened today are amazing.

Humorless one-dimensional heroes giving long-winded speeches?

Just because it took over 1,000 pages to say what most writers could have said in 100 doesn't necessarily make the book bad.

You nailed that one. With all the Rander's at FR, I'm amazed you haven't been nailed to the wall yet. I tried to read it, but had pretty much the same opinion as you.

BTW, books everyone SHOULD have read as a kid, and are still great (I got to read them over again to mine):

Little House series
The Jungle Books
Old Yeller (can I admit I still get misty at the end?)
Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
