Love it!

Still a proud nerd..working amongst the ‘cool people’. They ‘tolerate’ me because I get things done.

Thank you so much Publius for putting this together. My eldest daughter ( Izzy_Box ) is reading this right now! What a blessing, and a help to me as her homeschool educator, too! Thank you!

Metmom: Don’t know if you pinged the homeschool list to this back when it was started or not, sorry if it’s “old news” so to speak. Just thought other homeschoolers may be interested in this...

Thanks for doing this. I found this thread, via your recent posting on Atlas Shrugged (Anti-Life). I tried to get the unabridged audio books for this novel and I just couldn’t get through it.

I’ll check out your other threads though. Again, thanks.

Please add me to the ping list.

I ordered Atlas Shrugged from amazon.com and it is sitting on the floor in front of my TV in the bedroom. I hope to get to it this summer but it isn’t looking good time-wise to be able to fit it in with too many family and work obligations.

Please add me to your list as well. I just finished re-reading it for the first time since 1998. As you can tell by my screen name, the book had a big impact on me... :-)

Our book club shut down last August when we finished reading the book. If you want to see what the club did, run a Keyword search using “freeperbookclub”. That will bring up our current book club for the Federalist Papers, but it will also bring up the older threads from last year dedicated to “Atlas Shrugged.”
