"There is no such thing as a crappy job, only a worthless (meaningless) person who doesn't want to do it." p. 39 Gentlemen who profess to want to destroy generators while keeping the lights on.
- That's a line that still works today, even though the novel was written half a century ago! (People haven't progressed much...)
Volume 1: Emotionally charged and moved by the project's accomplishment Volume 2: Hate Against Society Rises Volume 3: Mystery Solving As for the romance factor, there are pros and cons.
- Well, I think this element makes it a polyphonic harmony.
- I'm not so sure I can relate to it, personally.
- I wish there was a short version without the romance element, because it's hard to recommend it easily because the volume is very large.
@nishio: I've been feeling more and more that I should read the rest of "Atlas Shrugging His Shoulders," which I neglected after reading the part where Atlas shrugged his shoulders. I've been thinking that I should read the third part of the book, which is exactly Classics to read now, but it's hard to recommend it because of the sheer volume of the book.
What? Density is bad. It's the type of book I won't be able to read when I get presbyopia.
It's a good book, but long.
