Read Anthem. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hated it.

I owe it a thanks, though.

I was once talking with my friends that I really hated the book. He told me basically Let's See YOU Do Better!.

I took it seriously and actually wrote a 120 pages long book, although I never published it. Now I am on a career path of a writer.

So, yeah, thanks a lot Rand for your shitty book. It inspired me to be a writer.

Ayn Rand was a spoiled Czarist princess who got a hate on because Bolsheviks stole her Daddy's livelihood...and she spent her adult life crafting a philosophy to justify the throbbing bile-cock she was left with afterwards. Expressing it through "fiction" was just a bonus.

So yeah. Happy birthday, you slavering witch-cunt. Hope your soul catches cancer like your body did.

(Note: I do not like Ayn Rand)

Kami: That wasn't a positive 'oh lord'. >.>

The cover isn't that great, and the book looks like the artist escaped his cage haflway through. :/

@Zersk I'm curious, but what is your preferred art style?

Objectivist under toned webcomics about anthropormorphic animals

Objectivists, none of the above, Zersk! Pournelle chart Objectivists (and Egoist Anarchists) are 1/5'. Nazis are 5/1'. Commies are 5/5'. Anarchists are 1/1'.
