цитата дня

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.

Even as a teenager, I thought they were both completely unreadable.

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

Рэнд - это Чернышевский для особых извращенцев.

Я не могу понять, как люди, которых Чернышевским в школе доставали, могут это УГ читать.

Мне кажется, или этот прием типичен исключительно для англоязычной культуры?
