Heinlein made art. Rand is propaganda.

Mother****ing agreed. Even at the height of my Randian period I had to stop reading Atlas Shrugged halfway through cause god damn is it boring and incompetent as art. But even at the height of my leftism Starship Troopers is highly problematic, vastly interesting, and just a good ****ing yarn.

TBH I'd rather watch the movie though. I love them both but the movie is singularly entertaining as a blockbuster masterpiece.

I remember when I lived in Florida I used to read at this park in the mornings. I was reading 1984 one time and a cop came up to me to ask about my van cause the plates were expired etc. And then he was like "1984, huh? If you like that you should read Ayn Rand."

I'm bouncing between The Vision and the Voice by Aleister Crowley, and The Anathema of Zos by Austin Osman Spare.

Trying yet again to get past chapter three in Dune. I will read it this time. You'll see.
