Whew! Finally finished Atlas, all 1200 pages. Slogging through John Galt's radio address was the toughest part, I could only manage a page or so a day before it put me to sleep. It had a few nice little nuggets of wisdom interspersed throughout, but for the most part it seemed like meaningless...

RE: Barron's subscription. I took my renewal notice with me to lunch one day so that I could call them while I was waiting on the meal and do my renewal over the phone. I reached Sanjay, who spoke with a slight Punjab accent, but after I gave him all the information about myself he told me that...

Nils Bjurman. Corrupt legal guardian of Lisbeth Salander in GWTDT. Now, since my character's name also ends with an "n', do I face some sort of penalty or sanction?

A Perfect Stranger by Danielle Steel. I stumbled in to it at the CVS drugstore last summer. They had a bunch of paperbacks that had very rudimentary covers and were on sale for only $5.99. It turns out that they were re-releases and this one was from 1981. There's no way I would have found it...

This is from Wikipedia about Toohey's plot to get Roark to build the Stoddard Temple: There's nothing in the book that I remember that would lead me to believe that Roark would design the temple short and squat, in fact there was nothing really specific at all about Roark's designs, just...

Subtitled The Story of Success. It tells the stories of successful people from a very different perspective. We've all heard about Bill Gates of course, but is it really true that he was just a hard working genius who worked his way to the top? There was more to it than that, and Gladwell gets...
