Writing a newspaper article can be likened to giving birth to an incredibly obese baby through your eustachian tube. It begins with an idea that seems simple enough, an idea which, when an attempt to transform it from ethereal potential into concrete form is performed, should easily slide through the channels of creation and into reality ( Read more... )

And how is it possible to bounce around too much since Rand only has 3 "fiction" books out?

And I'm sorry, but the Fountainhead's where it's at. Plus, Wynand is dead hot!

You can bounce to the Virtue of Selfishness?

Yes, yes he is.
