“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life:
The Lord of the Rings
and
Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
