OT + OT Bill, you are correct in that my "easy to read" characterization should have been more qualified as saying that I found it an easy task to engage in the long and difficult struggle to understand her works. <<several people...told me Atlas Shrugged...too complicated and difficult>> Except for the long radio speech of about 50 pages, the remainder of the novel to me was easy and quick and clear in that it delivered to all readers upfront the statement "..do you want to understand...". Many persons do not, as we all have encountered. <<...we could just get the masses to understand that government is nothing more than organized force...>> This would be easy if first we could get the masses to understand "self", those books of Nathaniel Branden, again easy reading, but as most persons "run away from at first contact". <<highly recommend "The Market for Liberty" by the Tannenhills>> There is a web site for Ayn Rand, and as I have not visited it I do not know if its controlled by her estate or not. If so, then I'am sure there will be a recommended book list. Doug
