> I know whatcha mean. Ayn Rand is a bit of a caracature(sp?) She never let one word of her books be edited, and boy could they have used editing. I liked the story in Atlas Shrugged though, putting aside the philosophy. I do think she did Orwell's 1984 thing better, before his book, with Anthem. I would suggest the Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, (the new translation.)Dear Vesper , weren't you supposed to be seeing your psychiatrist today? How did it go ? Jan
