michannaSo Navin gave me Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand to read. I'm really surprised by how enthralling it is. I thought I'd have to work to get into it, especially after HP:DH but I haven't been avle to put it down. It is a long read though.
When he gave it to me he said that one of the characters was just like me, and later confirmed that he was talking about Dagny Taggart, which is extremely flattering as i may have had a crush on Dagny after about 20 pages. Navin would like to be a womanizer but he's extremely bad at it (Emily, Jess and I have frequently been reduced to helpless giggles by his attempts to pick up girls) so I think the compliment is genuine.
Now, Navin also commented that he feels he is similar to one of the characters in the book. I am trying to decide what the ratio of mockery to flattery I should put into my response. Of course, it's starting to look like the only hopeless womanizer in the book is actually a coniving genius and is merely pretending to be a spoiled brat, but I'm still tempted to tell Navin that the character I feel most resembles him is Lillian Rearden.
Oh, incidentally, if any of you have read this book, I'm only on pg 200; no spoilers please.
