O-Land News Junkie Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Q: What is the best/most influential book you have ever read and why did it inspire you? A: I'm a big Ayn Rand fan, and a big Plato fan. I think my favorite must be Rand's slim volume Anthem, which is a parable for Plato's Allegory of the Cave – humanity is shackled in a dark room and only shown interpretations of what reality is. [....] Anthem takes this timeless story and creates love out of hate, beauty out of ugliness, and freedom out of horrendous captivity. It's beautifully written and inspiring.http://randex.org/index.php/weblog/author_...her_with_peers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
