“I enjoyed the couple reviews I have listened to and will listen to more. I had a similar experience with Atlas Shrugged. I attempted on three seperate occasions to get through ponderous swamp of a book and three time abandoned at various points--the last time getting about three quarters through. I just couldn't take the "greed is good" philosophy of the book. I marginally liked the theme but it is buried beneath too many characters and plot threads. A marginally better book by Ayn Rand is The Fountainhead. It is silly at moments and the dialogue is laughably wooden but the theme keeps it afloat. I am current re-re-rereading I Am Legend and amazed how no one has come close to capturing the book on film. I think the best person for the job is Jim Jarmusch. It has to gloomy and low key. The Willl Smith version was a joke. If I were to film it it would be virtually silent and black and white. Anyhow, enjoy the podcast. Keep reading.”
