And why does this bother you? Books get new covers alla time.

I don’t get it.
BAN FROGMAN HENRI
“The queen of feistiness”?
The other day my gf bitched me out for being an anti-Rand snob when all I’ve read is Anthem
^^^ ayn rand
okay, sad, whatever, but i really like penguin classics and the books they choose, they’re always digging out obscure 20th century stuff (obscure to me; petersburg. cowper powys, many others).
OTM. Ayn Rand sucks the bag.
oh wait, you are complaining because you don’t like Ayn Rand? OK that’s different, I didn’t understand what you were complaining about, I thought you didn’t like the covers or something.
WOAH
curtis has a girl fart?

ayn rand $ell$ bro so they can publish yr copperpot powys and not worrying about losing money.
Is there another writer of Rand’s ineptitude on the Penguin Classics list, or is she there purely cos of her notoriety?

Steinbeck?
steinbeck’s books are best if you understand that the main male characters are always scooby doo and shaggy
“Rell me ruhbout ruh rabbits ruhgain.”
oh jesus
the queen of feistiness lol
Steinbeck has the breastfeeding scene in The Wrath Grapes, srsly the only thing I remember from anything I ever read of his.
curtis has a girl fart?
ILXor in not being completely socially inept shockah
Steinbeck = beer milkshakes + wining jug
breastfeeding scene at the end of GOW (book not movie) srsly made me cry.
UH. Steinbeck is too good to be mentioned in the same sentence as. Rand.
Rand aside, love the cover design.
And Angelina Jolie is to star in the film version of Atlas Shrugged, which is coming out in 2008.
thx for that
I can hardly wait.
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone in the UK who has read Rand (except me) and I kind of think I wasted my time trying. Give me Steinbeck (esp. his journalism) any time.
