Bidinotto is one of the many stories of transformation that were caused by Atlas Shrugged. I'd be willing to bet that there are many similar tales of people here in the Gulch who have become a great deal different because of reading that incredible book.

Hello khalling,
Bastiat and Rand...My kind of thinker. :)
"...This time, I underlined all the important passages—which turned out to be most of the book—..."
I started out doing this with a highlighter to OTPOAR and quickly realized almost the entire book would be yellow and I would need many more highlighters... pointless exercise. I decided to just use the index in the future. :)
Regards,
O.A.

Based on the comments here and Amazon reviews, I just bought a copy of Mr. Bidinotto's books Hunter and Bad Deeds.

I knew Mr. Bidinotto personally back in the early 70's; we were both involved with a libertarian political action group (not the Libertarian Party; that didn't exist yet). I lost touch when I moved away in 1976, and didn't know he'd become a published author. I'll have to get hold of his books.

Thanks for sharing K! Very interesting story!
