Book Reviews of The Journals of Ayn Rand
Book Review: Thoughtful
Summary: 5 Stars
There are very few people who believe nowadays that it is a worthwhile activity to discover how to think. This book is for such people. You will see diagrams that show relationships between events in Atlas Shrugged that you never knew existed. You will also find marvellous feats of abstraction which demonstrate an author's ability to "see a streetfight, then describe a battle."The downside to this book is that there is quite a bit of repetition, although with interesting variations. It's like a textbook that distills hundreds of mathematical instances into a an abstraction which is so general that you are bored - all the instances look like one another, since they all look like the abstraction.
If you enjoy thinking - I mean, really thinking, not quoting "intellectual works" mindlessly in cafes - then I advise that you obtain a copy of this book, and *study* it alongside each of Ayn Rand's novels.
