Goofing on Ayn Rand
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: "The Lord of the Rings" and "Atlas Shrugged". One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Of course, that's probably not strictly true. It seems to me that Randians tend to be up there on the social scale, usually born up there, but successful, whatever their other glowing faults.
As for myself, I'm not sure what to blame. Maybe books in general? Nah, it's probably just me - a little too much my mother's son.
