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.

The way the two of you were throwing around the word "leech", I assumed she had made some kind of speech specifically saying this.

Just looked up your quote, and here's what precedes it for context.

> You regard as 'in the public interest' any project serving those who do not pay; it is not in the public interest to provide any services for those who do the paying. 'Public benefit' is anything given as alms; to engage in trade is to injure the public. 'Public welfare' is the welfare of those who do not earn it; those who do, are entitled to no welfare. 'The public,' to you, is whoever has failed to achieve any virtue or value; whoever achieves it, whoever provides the goods you require for survival, ceases to be regarded as part of the public or as part of the human race.

Sounds like the character is damning the idea that money should be taken from those who make it and be given to those who make nothing. I see no logical inference that someone should not take something that they were forced to pay for.

This.

The only arguments these people can make against rand are ad hominems and literal falsehoods. Like saying by using social security she was violating any part of her philosophy. If you understood what you were reading and dont make out of context half-quotes you would probably understand.

Then there are the welfare whores and socialists, and the skinheads who hate her because what she stands for.

Yeah. So far this book is actually helping me through some serious depression. So many books feel like they have the author's worldview imprinted on every character, even when the characters are supposed to have different views. It feels like each person with their own worldview in this though and I think that has helped me understand there will be good people and bad people no matter when or where. Humanity is just humanity, good and bad.

Also, Brother Francis dying made me both incredibly sad and then incredibly happy in rapid succession. I wasn't ready for those feels.

if you read starship troopers you should also read the forever war... different author, weirdly identical plot.. different perspective (troopers is "why we fight" the forever war is "why we shouldn't") but politics of the subject matter aside, the forever war is fucking great.

Red Gambit first 3 books.jpg

I know I'm basically shilling with how much I post this but I don't give a damn. The Red Gambit series by Colin Gee is pretty fucking great.
>WW3 breaks out shortly after the end of WW2 in Europe
>Soviets acquire plans for Operation Unthinkable and fully believe that the Allies are going to eventually attack them
>Stalin and Beria give the OK for Zhukov to begin planning a massive operation against the Allies
>Meanwhile the GRU/NKVD/MI5/OSS are doing a lot of undercover operator/sabotage shit up to and during the war
The only thing with the books is that at least for the first two it appears Gee was without a competent editor (or maybe he didn't have one) because there are some text errors that are few but somewhat glaring. Also he appears to have some issues with writing American speech (author is a britbong). Last thing is that he buys into some of the more popular memes like bullets will knock you over and some stuff like .45 stronk and the like. For all those faults I still love the books because he writes some fantastic and very gory combat sequences, sometimes involving famous units.

If you ever wondered what would happen if the Allies went head to head with the Soviets (and if the Pacific War had went on with some very interesting changes) you need to read this shit.

That's a damn good book, I'd also recommend The Bush War in Rhodesia by Dennis Croukamp. Guy was in the RLI and Selous Scouts for the majority of the war and did some insane operating, but talks about it in a very jovial and nonchalant way. Guy gave an interview on Vice (before they went to shit) about pseudo-guerrillas and shit and said he was somewhat amused at how modern SF went about it, mainly about things like ROEs and the approach.

But it proves her wrong. Objectively it helped her out. If society was like get twisted and sociopathic like her childish ideology she would have suffered more.

Ayn rand was a loon and her ideology is selfish to a narcissistic point and reminds me of the big talk you hear from junior high kids. The second push comes to lung cancer (from chain smoking no less) the kid cries too mommy.

Every Ayn rand fan I've met so far has this unpleasant quality too his them. It's almost as bad as a the sovereign citizens but as a different kind of delusional immature way of thinking.

"Tigers in the mud" by Otto Carius. I think that it's a great biographical read about the experience of a tank commander in WWII, even more about tank operations of small scale. His writing is very simple and direct, what I think its a good point as he focuses on describing his experiences during the war and dont try to judge what happened. He spent some, various, pages in the prologue to say how he is pissed with the mistreatment that the german soldier received by the world after the war, some people dont like this, I'm ok with it.

Read all of them. Waiting for the new one to come out. Great audio books as well. His codex alera series hasn't caught my attention like the Dresden books has. I would throw into the mix of true /k/ related books, Grant and Lee and the iron cross(book about Rommel.) I'd throw in a pic but all my books are packed and ready for my move on saturday

you're a pretentious little cunt, arent'cha?

bet you never even read that wasn't illustrated too.

Mary Chestnut's Civil War Diaries would be wasted on you. Conrad simply used to wipe your ass. Don't even get me started on the Aubery/Maturin series. Pearls before swine indeed.
