The first Ayn Rand novel I read (and a good starting place since it's short), a good nutshell of many of her intriguing ideas.

from the back cover:

He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all trace of science and civilization he had the courage to seek after knowledge. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: He had stood forth from the mindless human herd.

I've never read anything by Ayn Rand, but I've always wanted to, so thanks for sending this to me fruitbat! And thanks for the great stamps of Wrigley Field & Comiskey Park - I am going to save those! I'll report back here once I finish reading it.

Thanks!

I enjoyed this book, but I thought a couple of the statements went a little over the top in the last two chapters. (I guess the main character would never join BookCrossing, as he would not share his books with anyone.) Why does everything have to be one extreme or the other? It seems as though you could write a sequel to this book which is the complete opposite - Equality 7-2521 becomes obsessed with "I" and EGO, not caring for his fellow man, and a disastrous society ensues. I still enjoyed the book, and I'm interested in trying The Fountainhead.

This is going to a fellow BookCrosser as a surprise. Enjoy!

When I got home tonight there was a package of books. What a surprise! I've been wanting to read Ayn Rand. This on wasn't on my list, but mailed to me as a RABCK.

Thanks!!
