        I know you'll enjoy! Enthusiasm is in your writing. The first time I read The Objectivists Ethics was a little over two years ago. This essay is "the simplicity beyond complexity" of We the Living, Anthem, the Fountainhead and AS combined. I have been studiously reassessing my business and personal relations since reading. Enjoy!

    Thanks for all the responses, and it's great to see that you support the first few comments which made me decide, I was obviously not going to regret any of the books, but it's much better to get your opinions first when it comes to order.

    I was teaching selfishness yesterday at a Christmas present unwrapping party..
    Without getting into all the court house complications, my stepson (not to be confused with my son but both are "sons") adopted one of his younger female cousins due to an aunt being a mental case. His adopted daughter is older than his two little sons.
    A set of,coloring pencils was one of the gifts I gave the girl. I advised that she guard those pencils dearly after she withdrew the set from the grip of a younger brother.
    I told her of a long-remembered Christmas gift of a coloring book and how I looked forward to coloring a drawing made of ducks flying over a pond.
    To this day I recall how irate I felt when I found that a little brother had colored all those ducks purple.
    "You want your stuff. Protect your stuff," I told her.
