email for more details.
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 read none of them. Though my youngest brother gave me a hard bound copy but I lost it. The other I wasn’t interested in. I only read one of Tolkien’s recently.

There’s a typo. I’m sure it’s supposed to read “for the sixty-three years.”

No time to read, waiting for Cliff Notes version of today’s strip.

Find a college quad and yell “Ayn Rand was a hack who died on Medicare!” if you want to liven up your day.
