INTP/Moonchild (i.e., Cancer)/Attention deficit disorder and/or depression. Also an incorrigible punster. Born 1966, which is the horse -- had to look it up, I'm a firehorse (as opposed to a firehose).

I was briefly a Randroid. I think she creates some of the most realistic villains I've read, but her heroes (except Franciscio D'Anconia) are some of the most gawd-awful bores I've ever read. IMO. Mark Helprin's Winter's Tale covers much the same ground as Atlas Shrugged but much more beautifully.

BTW, one of my long-term poetic projects is an epic that has Polychrome as the hero's Virgil/Beatrice and eventually, will pass through Oz, if I ever get that far.

I'll have to check it out. I love that I read Rand, and her ideas stayed with me.... but I notice I only read each book once. ;^)
