  1. "3 Idiots," directed by Rajkumar Hirani -- have any of you seen this comedy? I remember watching it a while back and thinking it was funny and well done. Warning: there's lots of dancing and singing! I love coming across an odd movie like this, watching, and going, yep, that's pretty good. Makes up for all the more disappointing ones!
  2. Hi Michael, I hope it doesn’t suck too I’m afraid I’ve lost some of my ability to judge it objectively after reading it so many times (hello editing). Thank you for buying it too. I actually have a free promotion scheduled (today until July 5) so that people can take a chance on me and try it risk-free, given that I’m a self-published author and newbie and all. If people would be generous enough to give me feedback on any parts/aspects of it that do suck or are weaker than others, I’d be super grateful. I’m always trying to improve myself as a writer, so I can make the next one better. Thanks Brant, and I hope you don’t mean that in a cannibalistic way…
  3. 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.
