Logen is such a complicated character. I love the way it introduces his personality, morals, and character. He has so many good aspects about himself and you see that through his actions and others who remember him for his goodness. But you also hear about the darkness to him. You think that the past is the past and that he's learning and trying to be a better person. Then you see the evil up front and center and the consequences...

When I think of the hatred that people have for him I can't blame them. I did love it in Best Served Cold how Shivers got some karma at the party.

Malazan is one of the best series' ive ever read. It's long, when you start you have no idea what's happening. I wanted to put it down at first, because I hated the place names and characters and it was all so cobfusing, but something kept me going. After the first book I knew I wanted to read the second, after the second I was committed to read the whole series. Malazan isn't always perfect but when it is it's unlike anything ive ever read or watched. I'm about to start the last book in the main series and still want more.

Shrugged was a good concept written terribly and Rand has absolutely no sense of brevity. She could spend forty pages on some janitor opening up a can of tuna fish that isn't even pertinent to the story. That book should have been normal paperback length, like 370. Instead its a thousand. And her sentence structure is clunky. She has no sense of flow. And I've known people who purposely carry Shrugged around like a prop in their own movie to read in coffee shops, so they can dazzle people with their "intellect". These are the same dicks who obviously scrawl "I am John Galt" on study carrels. They are not John Galt.

Have actually read and anyone who has read must at least admit to it not being a light read. As with most authors with a "philosophy" she does an amazing job in describing and understanding human nature when it comes to addressing the problem yet is completely oblivious to human nature when it come to the suggested solutions. Her descriptions of the wealthy parasite class and the results of actually applying the communist motto are dead on (there are 2 pages that make the entire book worth the read jus in themselves). But her protagonist is nothing but a power gold digger and no man is just going to "step aside" because the other guy is more "alpha" And while It rightly advocates that everyone has a duty to optimize their skills and knowledge it hand waves away the effect of different starting points. The only reason the protagonist had the luxury of learning all the ins and outs of her father's railroad is because she didn't have to spend her youth being concerned about her future survival .

Finally, an interesting and well-read fellow.
See, the point isn't to take it all to heart: to accept it as if it's some sort of guideline to life and wealth.
It's a message (for sure, drawn out, I'll abscond with that). It was her foray into "philosophy" nearing the end of it, and bordering the thought of something new: psychology.
Had she not pushed that pathetic ideology of hers, it would've been a much quicker and more significant read.
Regardless of her huffing her own ego, there's a lot to be said in the novel.
Things ranging from relationships, independence, and economics (to a certain scholastic degree).
Take it for what it is. A fictional account of what could (and probably will happen). Don't take it as a maxim or as a paperweight intellectuals tote around to "rep" their own sapience. Simply a story predicting what might come, and through the eyes of a WOMAN decades ago.

It is a very hard read.
One of my other favorites (and a nice quick read) is The Gambler. About a man who's luck ruins his wedding, family and bit of pride he has, just for a bit of fortune- only to lose it all, and win it again- all through that beautiful maiden, Lady Luck.
As for The Brothers... I was born the middle child, one of 3. It resonated well with me. About 3 brothers (DURR) who all have varying personalities and goals in life. One is a sensualist, in it for the money and fame- but ends up tarnishing that image.
The middle one is a genius. Too far gone in his mind and schooling, eventually going insane and meeting(?) the devil himself.
The youngest is something of a spiritual child. Raised by monks and growing up on the Lord's word. In the end, he finds there's corruption even in religion, and loses (finds?) his way away from that false light.
If you enjoy a bit of death, drama, love, heartbreak, abuse, incest, drugs, zeal, and more than a few old timey themes, youll love it.

>Had she not pushed that pathetic ideology of hers, it would've been a much quicker and more significant read.
It could have been a great novel. The idea behind it is sound. It was literary malpractice. It was like being trapped at one of those dinners with academics who think way too much of themselves and only talk to hear their own haughty voice ramble to their sycophants for nine hours, holding cigarettes in the european style and drinking wine, and being obnoxious. A great author can change their voice. Every voice in Shrugged speaks in Rand's voice.

It's the blade itself. I love fantasy, but most of it is trash.

I felt the same way when I first read it as a kid, but rereading it last year was what made me love it. Herbert's philosophy is fantastic and makes the story better in my opinion. Give it a chance once again if you can. I had to force myself to get through it as a kid, but I enjoyed it more as an adult.

I can never keep track of the names of his books. The Blade Itself feels like a decade ago. His books keep going in time. Ugh, I can't even read this new one because I see the consequences of the previous books and it tugs at my heart too much.

The original Dune was an entertaining and easy read for me. The sequels however, i think I got through 1, wasn't very good and never bothered with the rest. Maybe they're actually good I dunno.

I loved the sequels, especially God Emperor of Dune.

Oh god no

Hypocritical joo bitch.

Hm, that's a good point. As I said, she was a little too high on her own egoistic supply.
If she didn't push that theory of hers so hard, it could've been incredible.
It drags on so long, with several turning points and characters introduced, it's hard to keep track. I almost think it should've been a romance novel split into 3.
Regardless of all other elements, it sticks in your head. The sprawling story, told over years- a significant childhood of an outcast, grown into a woman, forming an important bond with another similarly odd boy. Going on from that and growing further- learning to be a member of society, and seeing how much good they could actually do. Realizing life isn't about others, but yourself.
Perhaps that's why it comes across as a little self-indulgent. It's the exclamation of a proudly, independent woman who finds there's strength in not only being a cog in the machine, but perhaps a bigger part in a much bigger machine than they had imagined.

The book is like walking through mud. It's structurally-written poorly, and Ayn Rand tends to embellish to a point where it seems like satire.

With that being said: She was way ahead of her time, and the topic of the story is incredibly important. By trying to keep up a system set up against you, which exists only by your work, it's your responsibility to just walk away, and migrate to like minded individuals who'll at the very least get out of your way for personal growth.

"Literally garbage. Her book is nothing but The Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous: 1930s Railroad Tycoon Edition with the same endless talking that never amounts to anything just like every other female writer. Even the big reveal of John Galt was just a long diatribe on how the poor are just trash that drag those of higher class down. Literally a stuck up bitch who thinks the ability to afford a glamourous life is equivalent to being a deity taking 900+ pages of talking to come to the conclusion that inheriting daddy's money means you can do whatever you want."

Not him, but I didn't understand that shit either. There isn't one (1) quotation mark in the entire book and the last ~45 pages are an unpunctuated, nearly-unbroken wall of babble. Worst recommendation I ever got from /lit/.

It was too fucking long winded. There's nothing wrong with keeping an idea short and sweet. But after reading the same thing play out over and over again, I realized she was just describing having a sense of honor. Nobodys ever going to be patient as Rearden. Nobody will ever be as determined as Dagny. There's some good points and perspectives. I do believe business is the backbone of our country, but I think it depends on small business. Not the corporations that Rand had referred to. Overall the story was shat and her philosophy has some major holes in it.

Most people in here definitely did not read this.
Skipping the philosophy of the book would render the whole book as pointless. It literally the common theme for everyone who ends up at galts gulch and the antithesis of everyone who ends up around James. It would have been paper thin plot because she just sets up those strings of events literally to explain the her philosophy.

Complaining its long is fine, not agreeing with the philosophy is also fine. But to say "skip the politics" is absurd. But hey, angry birds 2 is coming out and at least you'll have something to watch that doesn't hold you down with too much talking.

Those were shit, Rand was a soy boy.

Because India is devoid of wackos who spend their life sitting on a rock growing their toenails and rubbing ashes on their faces, and China has no interest any more for powdered rhino horn and soups that allegedly make your dick hard.

Agreed. I love Rand but her faults are so obvious when you look at it with another eye. For example there are no children in Atlas Shrugged. Where does a parent child relationship fit into the "pure value for value" make up of her philosophy? Still her insights are incredible. I'll never forget reading about Reardan's family and how he was SUBSIDIZING his relationships. Really opened my eyes to how I was supporting my own toxic relationships

Yes, I get that. The percentages of people who are not tethered to reality within the population. Who are gullible and reaching for crazy fucking unconventional nonsense. I still would say, within the population, the percentages are probably similar. But since their societies are older, the weird shit is more accepted as a cultural norm. They have strange parades of zealots who whip the flesh off their own bodies. They have people who walk around in a diaper for their whole life, grow their nails four feet long, and eat one grape a day. But thats okay. If we get people acting weird over the television, it becomes a laughable example of the decay of western society.

Personally, I think their PERCENTAGE of weirdness in Asia is greater. People who are out of the mainstream. I think the PERCENTAGE of cults, monks and weirdos is greater than the normally adjusted within the confines of their society.

And I would still say, even if 100% of America was fucking nuts, and 10% of Asia was nuts, their nutters would still outnumber our nutters by 100 million. So, I think your hypothesis is fucked. Statistically, the influence of those Asians on non-asians will be greater by sheer numbers AND percentages than any influence America could possibly deliver to non-Americans.

STFU you fucking Randian Dipshit.

Fuck you and your stupid little manlet take on life.

What's the difference between Ayn Rand enthusiasts and Tolkian enthusiasts?

One lives in their parent's basement, has no social life and lives in a fantasy world of which will never happen.

The other one likes Orks.

Mein Kampf

My book 'Atlas Mugged'.
It's a dystopian novel about world of depleted resources and permanent war.

I have no mouth and I must smoke, a survivalists guide to a world where smoking is banned everywhere.
