Hi all! I’m a writer; read “Atlas Shrugged” in high school, having plucked it off a library shelf. Over the years, I ended up reading pretty much everything Rand ever published. I am still surprised by how much animosity she seems to inspire, and how much people seem to focus on the shallow readings of her work and/or trivia of her personal life to completely dismiss all of her ideas, the whole vast structure of them, at once. Sometimes I feel like the “Atlas Shrugged” and “Fountainhead” I read were different editions than what many others got! Anyway, I want to thank Michael and others for keeping this forum, and helping keep Rand’s ideas afloat on the vast electronic seas of the internet.
