Afterword and Suggested Reading

W00t! It's posted. Usually these came out on a Saturday and so missed the regular week crowd. We'll bump it again on Saturday.

This pretty much puts a finish to an eight-month project. Publius, thanks, and thanks to all the Book Club members for their support. ;-)

Wonderful stuff. I'll echo the congratulations of others on a truly remarkable collection of work. I've followed it all religiously every week, and will miss it.

When your book comes out I'll be sure to buy it. I'm sure that'll mean a re-read of Atlas Shrugged. The recommendation of Asimov's Foundation trilogy is one I think I'll take up. I've read a good deal of Asimov over the years but somehow I've managed to never get to that one, though I've heard a great deal about it.

I've gotten much, much more out of my reading of Atlas Shrugged because of you guys. Thanks.

back later

Thanks

Regards
