Yeah, I took Matt's post the same way. The only Rand I've read is Anthem, and she seemed to me to be a woman desperate for a man who could make her Submit. heh :) Jim <<I just thought Matt's post was hysterical. Having seen the Modern Library readers' poll back when they had that Web page open to reader voting, there's obviously something mildly intense about Rand's readership--seemingly on the same level as some religious fanaticism. However, I've not read a word of Rand, and this sort of intensity makes me wonder if I should check out Rand just to see what all the fuss is about or just ignore her as some Jim Jones 20th Century Literary figure.
