Paging Ayn Rand

I must say that I read a few of Ayn Rands books in the past. Anthem and most of Atlas Shrugged. I got 400 pages into Atlas Shrugged and then put it down. I never picked it back up and it sat on my shelf for a good 8 years or more. I eventually placed the dilapidated book in the trashcan and said "No more". I have this to say about Ayn Rand:
My friend suggests that Ayn Rand tells us that Thanksgiving is a holiday where we celebrate our abundance and discusses that Thanksgiving is a holiday whereby we Thank G-d for our good harvest....
In reply, I wrote:
Ayn Rand blesses us with abundance. Too many pages in Atlas Shrugged I say. It lost my eyes about 400 pages in :)
Ayn Rand is about as religious as a chainsaw in the fishbowl of life.
Ayn Rand makes me think of sports cars that dont like to be placed in Park. She is about as funny as a whale in the bermuda triangle's Boat Salvage Department. I think Ayn mastered the art of writing novels with a Question that persists for so long (who is John Galt) that you really dont care who he is anymore!.
Ayn Rand deems it necessary to say Grace before you park your car and after you drive a Semi Truck. She likes to eat rose bushes that smell like petunias. I did like Ayn and enjoyed a few moments reading her novels. But that was about as many pages as I could do!
So enjoy your Thanksgiving. Think of Ayn when you do your taxes!!!!!!!
