review:
Riding the trains sometimes you see people who you imagine may or may not call the tubes their home. This book gets down, in harsh detail, where humans are willing to go, or moreover what they will let slide. I'm sure Everyman has wondered what would happen if the tightrope snapped, if the floor fell from below.. this book shines a light on that existence. I read this in about five days of subway rides, and simply what the author was willing to put herself through was enough for me to tip my hat. I used to think there were two New Yorks, the extremely rich, and the rest of us. There are three New Yorks, and I'm contented to exist in the middle.

review:
Zach told me this one came first, which blew my mind. I was surprised to see that it was published in the '50's, being as prolific of a book. KV really put a lot of thought into the concepts of freedom, industry, leadership, technology, and the corporate ladder. Organized cooperations have always been a looming fear of mine, or men with economic power may really be the issue, and this book worked through some of that in me.

review:
The thickest fiction I have ever read. When I read it I forget my regular life entirely, and simply knew the walls and the chalkmarks of the hundreds of pages filled within.

I have wondered who I would rather meet God, or Howard Roark. Oftentimes, the answer has been Roark.
