Stolen from Paul Krugman

[gsh]

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.

Oh, that made me laugh so hard I almost choked.

Thank you! This was a laugh-out-loud moment for Q_Goat, D_Muse, and me.

This was more of a quiet snicker for me...followed by a huge grin.
