   > "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."

   know if it was original with him, or an unattributed quotation from someone   
   else, but I liked it, so I thought I'd put it here.   
      
   I like it too. Thank you!
