Oh, man, Preech. A.) I'm not that big on Neruda. and B.) Now I'm going to have to go back and see if my recollection that Ayn Rand is an AMAZINGLY shitty writer is as correct as I think.

A Winter's Tale is a hell of a book, because Halperin is a hell of a writer. He also worked for Reagan and Bush I.

While I care about ideas in fiction, I care more about the writing. It's been a Looooooong time, but my recollection is the only way to trick yourself into thinking Ms. Rand writes at more than a fifth grade level is to be totally in awe of her ideas. I shall find examples.
