re: #111 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut
Luckily, I didn’t venture into reading anything by Ayn Rand until in my 30s (The Fountainhead, I think it was) and thought it was tripe and utter drivel. I can see why I avoided reading her for all those years.
Interestingly, Rand was a Benzadrine addict, so I’ve heard, for over 30 years.
