"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."
I just thought I'd share since someone is apparently making a movie of Atlas Shrugged and it's a foregone conclusion that even if the best and brightest of the movie business were working on this thing (and they're not), it would never be as good as the worst part of The Lord of the Rings--books or movies.
