The only thing I don't like about Ayn Rand's books are the readers. There are three who haunt a nice Panera coffee shop where I go when I get a day off and want to drink coffee and use my laptop with the free WiFi there. They all have Ayn Rand T-shirts, belong to Ayn Rand fan clubs and attach themselves to you like disciples of Werner Erhard

They all ask positive tag questions, i.e. "You like Ayn Rand, don't you?" to start off the conversation.

The books are good but somehow or other, they start a weird cult.

If I wanted that, I'd join a political party...
