Ayn Rand is a shitty novelist, and really doesn’t care if people relate to her characters. Yeah, she’s kind of a bitch like that (my guess is that Dominique is the kind of person she imagines herself to be, or wants to be ( ... )

Thanks man, that helped out a lot. I was getting carried away there for a moment. It is a great work (although winded) of being a psychological piece - To examine ones life truly and ask whether his life is truly his or is the product of his enviroment. However, and even though I haven't finished it, I really don't see the Objectivism in its relationship with reality, exsistance and the mind. I feel like with that, it could all be explained with the classic proverb, "if a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear does it make a sound?". Like I said and you said, the characters are extremes- and I don't know much about Rand, but I have heard the word bitch to describe her- Atlas shrugged is the same fucking thing isn't? Only unbelievable longer-

How about your take on Anthem?

Personal question, how do you read a novel by someone you consider a shitty novelist? I really respect and admire your reading prowess by the way, not just with Rand but with all you read.
