I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch... I have read nearly all of Ayn Rand's books in the 70's, ie when I was in my 20's. Some of the books I have even read 2 or 3 times, such as the Fountainhead and Atlas. Ayn Rand is completely in my system, even if I do not go along with some of the details. Reading them in my 20's has made an enormous impact on me, an impact I still experience every day.
