There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

eh, I just had to explain to a 32 year old why one shouldn't be reading Atlas Shrugged. I last for about two minutes and then just start hitting on the head with the nearest object. Fortunately Atlas Shrugged came in quite handy at this part of the conversation

Why bother with anything else when there is Illuminatus!, right?
