As may be apparent to some I have a really bad memory, (on top of not knowing a lot to begin with) so I don't remember the details of Rand's books. But I do remember that when I read them in highschool I thought they were great and read two or three things in a row and was all hopped up about them. Curiously, I've had humanist, socialist tendancies long before I had a clue what those things were, and for years I counted her books as part of the body of things I'd read that got me to that place. Wierd huh?
