Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Am I the only one here who has not read Ayn Rand?

The internet has replaced reading along with thinking.

A secessionist community based on pure meritocracy, as that founded by John Galt, would have to take place on another planet today. Can you imagine a few hundred people trying to hide out together in the Rocky Mountains, with satellites taking hi res pictures from above? Good idea, just wouldn't work in today's world. She and George Orwell pretty well summed up the world reformed by the Libtards, before most people figured it out. Too bad.

I have not read any of it, but I have read just about all of the Louis L’amour collection and I don’t plan to live in a commune. I have over 1 million acres of National Forest to hide in by myself with Ruger.

Tried reading. Really hate her writing style and was soon too bored with it to bother. I hardly ever find female authors readable.

The look and feel of hand-tooled saddle leather.

John Wesley Hardin once shot a man just for snoring.

I wanted to do that this deer season.

As I recall the book, wasn't there some kind of energy field projected over their community that made them invisible?

Yeah, in her fiction novels, she really hammers home her political message, which can become tiresome, particularly if you already agree with most of it.

The novel could have been half as long. Still worth reading especially if you believe in the Democrat way.

I read or listened to her novels, but agree they become tiresome. It’s a shame because the people who need to read them will never make it through.

'flave likes succinctness.

Sounds like her writing won't pass muster with him.

I'm gonna send you my copy of Gilgamesh and also some Hermann Hess.

Give you somethin' to do while waiting in a deer stand or at the Dr office.

I bought Atlas Shrugged (the book) last week.

I always sleep with the wiping stick out of my rifle in my bed roll with me. So when one of my camp confederates begins the snoring session a good poke in the ribs causes em to roll over and stop the racket! They are sound sleepers.

Atlas Shrugged has some good concepts in it, put its preachy, repetitive, and tiresome, and the horse is still very much dead at the end. As a read, “the fountainhead” is much more palatable, I.e. shorter, less in your face and less repetitive.

It's okay they don't bring anything to the table either. MB

Not read any

The movie was pretty low budget but many of the concepts are correct.

The typical published movie reviewer has little use for a meritocracy. They UNIVERSALLY hate everything about the Atlas Shrugged trilogy of movies.

No, you're not.
