I picked it up purely because it was $1.00 at a used book store and I had heard of it and knew it was used in some college philosophy classes. Anyway, I have enjoyed the book immensely, and will probably read it again. It's given me a lot of thought, and of all the books I have read it has definitely evoked the most from me. I love this novel, and would reccommend it to anyone that enjoys literature. It's amazing. Anyone who doesn't like it because of the views it poses, are in my opinion, just like the men in The Fountainhead. The one's who hate Roark because of the man he is. They are blind and conform to what society see's as correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912263.post-46876054865067236322009-11-22T12:09:33.182-05:002009-11-22T12:09:33.182-05:00Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? ...Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? <br />Help, please.
