  • I just finished Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", and I really need to know...

    Towards the end, were Hank Rearden and Francisco D'Anconia going gay for each other?
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

          "Yes, at first I was happy to be learning how to read. It seemed exciting and magical. But then I read this: "Atlas Shrugged," by Ayn Rand. I read every last word of this garbage, and because of this piece of sh-**** I'm never reading again!"

            There weren't any worthy women left for them, so it would be most appropriate.

                Rearden is too close to Rear End to not be gay.

                    Hmm, interesting question. I don't have a copy of it nearby but I don't remember getting any homosexual overtones when I was reading it last time.

                    Then again, I skipped over a lot of bits because they were somewhat dull. The radio speech by John Galt was one such example.

                        Yeah, and you know what was REALLY funny about Galt's speech?

                        Later on in the book somebody asks Galt to lead the world or something. Essentially they're asking him for advice.

                        And Galt responds something like "You had my advice. It was on the radio. It lasted two hours."



                        ...


                        I wanted to throw the book at Galt then and there and say "Yes, and like 100% of the world's population, he probably turned the radio off, or went to wash his hair, or something during those two hours."

                        Another response could have been "tl;dr".

                          I'd rather play Bioshock than read that book again.
