Thanks for coming by here; I enjoyed your blog very much the other day.

She is verbose, and I only read about 30 minutes a day, but I did enjoy the book. Guess it’s not for everyone though. Glad you agree with her in principle.

Lord knows I’ve tried, numerous times… the last being about a year ago. But I just cannot get through Rand’s oh-so-turgid prose. Reading her is truly painful, and I prefer to get my Objectivism synopsized and (perhaps) filtered from other, more accessible sources. I don’t disagree with her in principle, I just take issue with her verbose style.

Please do stick around and come back whenever you can. Thanks for your comment!

I like your blog too. I’ll be checking in often to check on the falcons. Will be adding yours too, to my blogroll.

I have serious hope that we will get this turned around. I think the left will overreach and that they underestimate us.

Glad you came by from Kate’s. She’s doing great work.

Glad to meet you!

So glad you came by from Kate’s. Thank you for the kind words.

I do plan to read The Fountainhead, have it sitting here waiting, and also will check out Anthem. I’m currently catching up on some other books, Mark Levin’s, some Thomas Sowell, and a Friedman book. (Also intend to have some pure enjoyment with Vince Flynn’s latest–:)

It was stunning to me how on the mark she was in the 1950′s with her vision. Just goes to show how long this move has been in the making. I’ve read, and agree, that the first big move our country made toward socialism was under FDR. They’ve been planning and waiting for 60 years, and I think they believe that this is their time.

We will have to prove them wrong. I like your blog too, and will be adding it to my blogroll.

Thanks again, so glad to meet another Rand fan, and another American who understands what’s going on.

I read Atlas Shrugged when I was just a child of 20 back in 1983. I haven’t read it since yet it has stayed with me all these years. It was amazing then – and still is today – how much what Rand wrote resonates with current events, be they in the 1980s or the 21st century. She was a prophet, in a very chilling way.

I just read your comment over on Kate’s Blatherings, and was compelled to come check you out. Your comment was right on the mark (“nancy pelosi’s pants on fire”).

On Atlas Shrugged, good for you for reading it and extra-good for you for recommending it. As I understand, that forthcoming movie has Angolina Jolie slated to play Dagny. I’m not sure how I think that’ll work out, but I’m guardedly optimistic.

If Atlas is your first taste of Ms. Rand, you should consider also reading The Fountainhead and Anthem as a follow-up. While Atlas is the definitive Ayn Rand product, those others carry the same lessons in a somewhat more-digestible form.

Keep up the good work here, and in thumping down the loonies over at Kate’s. I’m gonna try to catch up (as time permits) on your older posts, and expect to add yours to my blogroll.

Your new fan,
Jeff

Thanks for the comment. I know what you mean, I always have a lineup of books to read, it can be so hard to pick one. “So many books, so little time” is totally true!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
