it's not your fault, ayn rand is just an unusually talented writer with profound, accurate and genius ideas that will transform the world into a better place

> War and Peace,
Russian soap opera.
>any of the Song of Ice and Fire books,
The first is the only good one anyway.
>Count of Monte Cristo
Page after page of overly courteous blabbering.

can you say something about what qualities of ayn rand you feel you enjoyed? to my mind, she's a pretty average pulp writer, there's probably other stuff you'd like more.

Wait till you work your up to Goosebumps. Pure, unadulterated excitement.

Congratulations guys, you did it, you made me mad.

Everyone fuck off now.

This novel was redundant. I stopped halfway through.

>> No.2959152

How in the fuck could you not finish the Count of Monte Christo?

The only way I think that's even fathomable is if you stopped after the first page.

That work is easily one of the few "Page Turners" considered a classic. Seriously, the pacing of it is just action, action, action.

It's more action action action - shitty 100 pages about Fernand's shitty son that goes on forever - action action action

Ah that's true. Fucking Albert ruining everything, from Mercedes pussy to an otherwise great piece of literature.

No offense OP, but Ayn rand just can't write in my opinion.
