    Rand exists only so that pretentious people can claim to like her.

    Nobody has ever finished Atlas Shrugged.

    seeing how i dont even know what pretentious means....il just skip that part lol

    and i wouldnt even try to finish atlas shrugged......thanks but im crazy enough without reading a philosophical novel that has more words than war and peace.........if anyone can finish that book....their either a robot......or any rand.....luckily anthem only has like 140 pages.....

    the only thing i got from atlas shrugged (before i got tired of looking up words) was somewhat enhanced articulation.....

    i hide it well dont i...... :)
