"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." -John Rogers

@FranklyCurious Anthem is the gateway drug to Atlas Shrugged.
The Lord of the Rings is, of course, far superior -- Orcs and all.
@Coctaanatis And Anthem is *so* bad! But it is filled with the kind of "arguments" I hear from conservatives today. "I invented the light bulb but they hated it because of socialism!" Her books (and play!) are so pathetic!
