Really brave of you to admit that you loved American Psycho. I did also, but in my experience people think you’re a freak if you tell people you liked that book. Good call Niki.

Rock on. Welcome to the club. I was always slightly partial to The Foutainhead myself. Though similarly themed, it’s a lesser book in its ambition and hyperbole. It’s also a lesser book in pagecount. Something to be said for that with Rand You’ll soon have all the well-worn paperback Rands on the bookshelf.

Second on my list, Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman.

Now that I write it, they’re probably just third-person vs. first-person expression of same pursuit.

btw - as you’re digging Rand, also read Greenspan’s book, where he describes how she kicks his ass into intellectual consistency.

now that you’ve finished atlas shrugged, it’s time to move on to nietzsche. haha.

Atlas Shrugged: at 18, it reinforced my notion that I needn’t feel bad when putting myself first. gave me the confidence to leave the beaten path.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius: a book that matched my internal monologue. amazing and creepy at the same time.

Gandhi Autobiography: a flesh-and-blood, albeit dead, man to idolize.

Haven’t read American Psycho but love the movie. I’ve been compared to Bateman more than 20 times in my life.

I hope you don’t own a transparent raincoat.
