My daughter and s-i-l were here for Christmas and New Years,so I've been busy. LOL

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and I hope that you and your's had a lovely Christmas! :-)

Thanks for posting this article. Chambers so so right about Rand and her dreadful books...all but one is utterly unreadable and pretentious. I tried to read her,when I was about 16 and found it all so boring,dreadful,and obscenely verbose.Of course,I was already a Conservative. Maybe,for it to have any value,one has to be not only young,but not well read and a liberal.LOL

The only one of her books I managed to get through was " ANTHEM" and didn't think that was all that good;just the only one that was in any way readable.LOL

Happy Christmas and New Year's to you, too!

Ayn Rand is unreadable doorstop material. She is as overrated as Sarte. And as impenetrable. Read: Foolish.

LoL that was the shortest one. You need some real torture get on Atlas Shrugged soon!!!

Dreadful now that is the perfect term for her stuff. And it is such a nice high class insult.
