I've read two of hers Atlas Shrugged, and the Fountainhead... interesting stuff... Haven't read Anthem.

I'd reccomend. It's a nice short read (90 pages I think) and much more dystopian than her other works.
|
on the subject, my favorite book of hers was Fountainhead, although Atlas Shrugged is quite good, if not being a bit too redundant. my nickname, well guess... I play guitar for Opeth, my name is Peter Lindgren.

Horza is a character from the Iain M. Banks science fiction novel 'Consider Phlebus' - he is a shapeshifter and one of the last of his kind - ideal as assassins they are usually regarded with suspicion.
Great book - brilliant character.

no offense to .. pyramid starter ahahha. but I think her message
is crap and adaptations of them in practice have put the world in
the position it's in now.. but I'm not going there hahhaha.
We all see 'em differently
that said.. Fountainhead was a fabulous book. Read it many years ago and keep the copy.. I should read it again.
|
perfectly fine that you feel that way, but there in no way shape or form have her philosophies ever been put to use. to call the US govt any form of that would be a mockery to her work closest thing to it possibly being her ties to Greenspan (Economics) but even still, he drifted away from her for being too radical i cant say I follow everything she says by the book, but she does have some valid points.

yeah.. never mind me.. I like shooting my mouth off hahahha. I'll
see about picking anthem up, probably wise before someone takes me
behind the shed and kicks my ass hahhahah. I always liked
Greenspan, he was one hell of a sharp character... I'll
check Anthem out.. and reread Fountainhead again. It wouldn't be the
first time my 'nature' overtook my noggin' hahahha.

No, if you see it clearly, it lacks depth, coherence... some baroque-romantic factor is missing, too. No, I wouldn't think so.

I could have sworn I had posted here before... Oh well!
"Freaks" is a B-side from Misplaced Childhood's "Lavender" single. I actually like the B-side better! Anyway, my dad's called me Freak before, and I thought it was proggy enough to represent me here - especially to those knowledgable in Marillion-lore. And I'm a little freakish, mostly because my tastes don't match up well with a lot of my friends (Gangsta rap! Blech!), and my sense of humor is a little skewed.
