Any Rand

[Paul Mackin]

To me the interesting thing about her doesn't involve her bad writing or 
not very well thought out philosophy but is the cult like assemblance of 
her fans, who so desperately  need a spokesperson to lift them from 
their disaffected, marginalized positions in society, someone of whom 
they can say on reading her that it changed their lives.Bla bla bla.


You also hear this kind of thing about Pynchon sometimes right here on 
the p-list  but I trust it doesn't apply to a majority of his readers 
and besides Pynchon is actually a good writer.
