Spending the Weekend with Ayn Rand

I was wondering what to do with the long Memorial Day weekend this morning. I have read all of my good books and have only one in progress. Then it came to me: I can read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. I started the book about 5 years ago and never finished it. I had previously read two of Rand's books, "Anthem" and "The Fountainhead," enjoying them both.

Now it's time to get started on Ayn Rand's real masterpiece. I will just start over from the beginning since it has been so long.

I go now, to fetch my second cup of coffee, my pipe and my book, to retire to my pastoral refuge in the backyard where I will sit, sip, smoke and savor, that is, savor the words of truth by Ayn Rand. I will emerge from my refuge even more sage and saintly then I am even now.

Eat your hearts out, liberals.
