Caltrops - Wall Street Kid





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Bananadine"]I like epic fantasy stories myself, and I don't care much about philosophy, so I just pretended all the heroic industrialists were a strange, new kind of elf, while the life-hating collectivists were only especially talky orcs, and that, solidly buttressed by my fascination with craziness, made it easy for me to enjoy the book--which was a big surprise after I'd heard it denounced so many times as a tedious presentation of a bad philosophy.[/quote] This is the first review I've ever read of the book that made me want to read it, by the way. Do you consider Rand to be a good <i>writer</i>, regardless of her philsophy? I know, it is easier for me just to find out for myself by going to the library, but still, I value your opinion. [quote]It's still somewhat retarded though, and it would be perfectly reasonable for you to skip it.[/quote] That being said, it's always stupid to proclaim that you "refuse" to read a book, like I did earlier, especially since I have no other classic books around to take up the slack, with the possible exception of some dog eared Red Dwarf "novels."
