Oh I read it. And it made a lot of sense, when I was 15.
"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 wonder how many of them have, rather than burning the book, decided to read it and think about it for themselves?
Cause if you do-- you would no longer be a leftist.
