Adam Floridia Adam said: "I imagined Don Juan (the character) to be an amoral womanizing playboy, but I was quite wrong. The situations that he finds himself in are varied and entertaining, and the narrator, who often throws in his own two cents, is hilarious. "

73707 ok so I'm reading atlas and I feel... well I'm not really sure... I like Dagny a lot, I think she's a real bad ass... I am a little tired of this damn John Galt question... it's annoying. I guess it's just sort of showing that rather than actually looking for an answer or a new explantion people just resort to not caring because it's just something they think they will never know... as for Reardon... I just don't think he measures up to Roark, yet... I feel like more drama needs to happen so that he and Dagny can prove themselves... oh and I hate Reardon's family... his mom is a ho!!! his brother is a bit of biatch... and I'm not sure about his wife... I can't tell if she's condescending or just weird in a sweet way... seriously though I'm only like 3 chapters in so there is really no telling where my feelings will go from here...

126266 I was responsible for this inundation of Vonnegut that I see in your "read books"? Hmm, my memory is fuzzy, which one did I recommend? By the way, you very much upset me by giving Leaves of Grass one star! Walt Whitman embodies everything good about American literature. But then again I think you may like Ayn Rand, who is perhaps not evil, but certainly is the opposite of good. Etc., nice to hear from you!

I've been busy looking up different novels and reviews on them, so I haven't actually added any books of my own yet. But I will soon~
