A quote
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." (Source is here. I saw this quote in Paul Krugman's blog, which by the way is highly recommended to anyone interested in matters economic.)
Well, I am no longer a bookish 14-year-old-if I ever was-and am now on page 90 of 1168 of Atlas Shrugged. So if I turn into a greedy bastard, you know who to blame. Given that there are at least 5 other unfinished books lying around my flat, it seems more likely, though, that I won't get to the end. If I do finish it, maybe I'll read The Lord of the Rings at some point too...
