Oh, God. This is my favorite book EVER.
::chuckles:: Yep, you told me in an earlier lj convo. Since I was exchanging books (and thus not paying money) I figured-- what the hell. Why not. Anniesj loves it, and I love her fic, and I don't have to pay for it--let's give it a try. So there, you must be evil because you've actually started influencing my reading habbits. ^_~
It's gorgeous, just absolutely stunning.
Yeah, I liked the writing style and dscription style from page one. I was SO afraid it was going to be frightfully dull (like Crime & Punishment, which I read for my senior year in HS, and was supposed to be so brilliant)-- but its not, and I'm deeply intrigued.
Dagny is one of my all-time favorite novel heroines -- you'll love her. She's brilliant.
I think I already do-- I've only read a little over chapter one, but I loved how she was introduced-- slouching in a train seat listening to a symphony which turned out to be the driver whistling a tune that doesn't exist. And then the whole thing wiht her chewing out her brother-- so awesome. Seeing first Eddie and then Dagny confront him on the problem really made James'(name?) faults in management painfully clear.
Are we going to go through the whole book hearing "Who is John Galt?" WHere does that name come from, and was it a popular phrase when this book was written, or did Rand just make it up?
