You've heard of Aristotle, Socrates, Plato? MORONS! Ayn Rand is the greatest philosopher ever! This book has changed my life! Before I read it, I was a pitiful, cowardly specimen, barely human. Now I have learned to demand my rights as an Objectivist Übermensch. Not only that, I now in fact look like Gary Cooper, and my girlfriend, who read it as well, looks like Patricia Neal. Also, I have invented a new kind of steam engine which is taking the railroad industry by storm! As soon as my paramilitary guard, the Brown Shorts, is fully organized, I will run for president on the Objectivist ticket, and I owe it all to Ayn Rand! Note added in press: Another commenter says, "One of the ten best books I've ever read, and I have not read much fiction in my life." Is this what you call damning with faint praise? Has the commenter read as many as ten works of fiction?
