Good. You'll discover how shit it is on your own rather than just taking everyone's word for it. If I suffer then everyone must.

It was a good analogy, in fact. I Mena, if you subscribe to the idea that an idea can be toxic to a person or a people, as I do. And that a book is a vessel for that toxin in the same way the berry is. But, you know, maybe that's just me.

I mean, yeah, go ahead. One of you will be wrong.

It is kind of of.

Aside from religious texts, you usually can tell just by a description of the book and the types of people who like it whether or not you'll agree with it or not.

But eh, I usually try to read everything in a certain subject anyway so you are right in some ways.

I honestly don't think people should be recommending Atlas Shrugged, a behemoth of a book, for instance. It is extremely poorly done. I would rather people read Rand's non-fiction. It's shorter and straight to the point.

I mean, I also agree with that analogy. But, you know, maybe that's just me.
