I just stumbled on your book club thread. I tried to buy Atlas Shrugged at the book store, last week and they were sold out, the lady in line in front of me was buying Fountain Head and a book of Rand essays. I guess that article in the WSJ spurred a renewed interest in Rand.

It wasn't just the WSJ article. People who have read the book, loaned it out and never got it back now wanted to re-read it. (I loaned it out and got it back 15 years later.)

People instinctively understand that we're living through it. That was why I decided to start the book club.

Our library’s e-book copies of AS and Fountainhead have a waiting list...for electronic downloads!! Idon’t know what the print copy situation is.
Maybe there is still hope, if enough people start reading and thinking about the consequences of what the government is doing.
I’m sure that the delay in passing the stimulus package, and the reduction in the total reflects increasing communication to Senators and Representatives, ala the defeat of Hillarycare in the ‘90’s.
Obama may not walk on water, after all.
