I have spent some time talking about how much I despise the " philosophy " of Ayn Rand, and how much I contemn the assumption of that "hogwash" by certain politicians. I have not spoken of my own "philosophy" based on literature.
I hold to the philosophy of J.R.R. Tolkien.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs.--

I feel like Sheldon Cooper on "The Big Bang Theory": I am tempted to agree with you, but all I do is try to surround myself with sharp people and their ideas.
