Qb.
I read it also..but anyone who says they remember the late sixties and early seventies,wasn't there!!That is someone else's quote. But I loved it!Seriously,I plan to read it again and may pass it on to my daughters soon.I read it after On Walden Pond/////OH well!This thread is making me remember all the books I used to hide under my matress so my mother wouldn't catch me...I forgot she changed the sheets every Friday and boy was she upset with "Soul on Ice" and "Do It"!If she realized that Jerry was dead,she might stop worrying today.I was just curious and looked like the perfect sorority girl..No harm in seeking different views?But boy did I worry my parents...I won't do that to my girls...as long as it is a quest for knowledge.How else could I find a new arguement...if I didn't look at other views???FWIWGlad to see some old brain excersizes in play again.
Regards,
Barbara

Ob, an interesting observation about the impact of Ayn Rand on the youth. I read her and Karl's manifesto at the same time, that was probably the reason I condensed "Das Capital" to: "You'll never get rich from your own work", a synthesis of thinkers on the left and the right (G).

<I think if you read Ayn Rand's lit at the age when I did, (high school, early college) it tends to have a profound effect on your life?>
ayn rand is overrated, a new world philosopher who was a Nietzche wannabe. i did read 'atlas shrugged' when i was younger, and the book had ideas all over from 'human, all too human' and, 'thus spoke zarathustra'.
sorry, had to make that remark.
