I heard about it in the 70's but didn't get around to reading it until last year. Downloaded it on Kindle. I must have highlighted 300 pages!

I bought the book myself. No one told me to read it. I had heard about it (nothing beyond that it was good) and was curious.

I bought the 35th Anniversary edition at Barnes & Noble...along with George Orwell's "1984". Both are superb books if you want to know what The Left has in store if they have complete control.

I initially read the book in high school during my senior year for a book report. Needless to say, I did not really grasp its message. I bought a hard copy last year from a bookstore on the internet, and read it again, this time comprehending its content and message more thoroughly.

I pulled money from my pocket and paid the bookseller for it. In 1971.

D.H. Lawrence of course. The character's name is actually Mellors. (Lady Chatterley's Lover.) (All off topic...sorry.)

Thanks for the welcome! And I have no idea of the book you are talking about, sorry.

I heard AS mentioned here and there over the years, one day I researched it and then ordered it and then DEVOURED it. So I guess you could say, it is where my journey in life led me. Unfortunately, and to my great disappointment, getting others to read it is quite a task. :( But it is the best book I've ever read...and I've read some great books! :)
By the way Mellis...your name reminds me of another one of my favorite books... Do you know which one??? :)
Welcome to the Gulch!!!

Mellis,
every now and again people in here will post that question. Such a profound book is often given as a gift. I think it's essential to my well being to expose people to Objectivism and AS is a great place to start. welcome to the Gulch!
