"No kids read Ayn Rand."

You'd be wrong about that, Taro. I read it the same year I read Don Quixote and Red Giants and White Dwarfs. That'd be the 5th grade.

I think I was in 6th grade. It was a stupid comment for him to make.

You read Don Q in the 5th grade? A severely compressed version that must have been. I have a copy of the same my uncles as kids read in Sweden back in the late 20s, not much of the original left I must say.

I repeat, no kids read the full 'Atlas Reshrugged' or the 'Fountainhead' - or 'Moby Dick' by the way - as kids. Anybody making claims to that is a fraud.
