Enjoy, Dylan.

I fucking hate that name.

Is Atlas Shrugged really that much of a meme book as people say it is? Asking not ironically

>Used to be a socialist
>Read Atlas Shrugged
>Realize that relying on the government to nanny you at best stifles one's self improvement and at worst actively threatens one's personal liberty
>Finally grow up and become an independent adult
>Never been happier

Does Rand get so much hate here because this board is full of NEETs who rely on autismbux to survive?

So it's basically Nietzsche for dummies right?

What book has the most beautiful prose?

What poet has the most beautiful sounding poems?

I'm not looking for actual meaning here. I just want the work that sounds best.

I don't know much poetry, but pic related for me has always had the most beautiful language in it to me. I won't vouch for it's message, but something about Ayn Rand's prose always gets me. The way she describes trains is strangely life affirming. Honestly she should have written brochures for factories.

However, I doubt she's even close to the most beautiful sounding author, so I'd like your opinions on authors and poets: who sounds the best?
