A friend sent me this, with the suggestion that people write in and let them know you DON'T regret reading Rand.
As usual, there were a number of responses at which.....no, that's not anatomically possible.

    To LeBohun

    Let's see. Of those on the list, I've read:

    Da Vinci code
    Hunger Games trilogy
    romance novels (some of them downright lurid)
    Atlas Shrugged

    I'd say I had a well rounded reading list. Let me add to that:

    Robert Heinlein
    CJ Cherryh
    David Weber
    C S Forester
    Chris Paolini
    E R Burroughs
    Jack London
    Rudyard Kipling
    Allen Drury

    Why would any rational person be embarrassed to admit to reading any particular book? Isn't it far more embarrassing to be ignorant or, worse, to have a secondhand opinion (hate) about something you haven't read or only pretended to read? Polls of irrational people are inherently unreliable and nonpredictive are they not, unless of course that is your market? What is the point otherwise?

      My post:
      "I've recommended Atlas Shrugged more than any other book I've ever read. To family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances. I suspect that the demographics of those surveyed are evident in the 34 votes against the Da Vinci Code (#3)."

      In response to "What's wrong with Atlas Shrugged", I replied, "It's misrepresented as fiction".
